CRITIQUE draws together scholars from across Schools and Colleges at University
of Edinburgh in a dynamic hub for ethical and critical analysis of urgent social
challenges such as climate change, economic exploitation, racial segregation,
gender oppression, and political violence. Deeply committed to methodological
pluralism, its members deploy a variety of methodological approaches to
political and social theory, ranging from analytic philosophical methods to
genealogy, from history of political thought to immanent critique, from feminist
and critical race theoretical methodologies to legal analysis. Work produced at
the Centre contributes to the excellent intellectual environment of the
university and aims to intervene effectively in public debates. Thematically, we
build on three interrelated and mutually sustaining pillars, around which we
will stimulate interdisciplinary and experimental conversations: Ethics,
Critique and Praxis.
