The Critical Theory Roundtable comes to Denison in the fall of 2026.
It’s a small, high-caliber conference that explores the most recent work in the heterodox and multiple traditions of critical theory. It unites philosophers, political theorists, sociologists, historians, legal theorists, literary theorists, and all those interested in the critical humanities, arts, and social sciences broadly conceived from across the United States.
The conference represents a new generation of critical theorists who are focused on diversifying the perspectives and problems in the field. This includes challenges of neoliberalism, globalization, and nationalism, and fostering creative new critical modalities in the social sciences, humanities, and arts.
Here is the weekend schedule:
- Oct. 23: 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. — Cherry Valley Hotel
- Oct. 24: 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. — Knobel Hall, Room 217
- Oct. 25: 9 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. — Knobel Hall, Room 217
Sponsored by Denison’s Department of Philosophy, the Titus Hepp Fund, and the Offices of the President and Provost.
