Critical Theory in the Global South

Here we feature a sampling of reading lists, syllabi, and extended bibliographies from Critical Theory in the Global South, an initiative of the International Consortium of Critical Theory Programs based at Northwestern University. This collaborative project seeks to develop curricular tools for the teaching of critical theory, with the aim of highlighting engagements with critical theory in the Global South. The following reading lists and syllabi result from ongoing conversations and “inter-university teaching co-operations” among scholars working in a range of regions, in a number of disciplines, and on various critical themes. Together, these materials offer a sense of the reach and the dynamism of critical theory today.
