Applications are now open for the second interdisciplinary Kent Summer School in Critical Theory (KSSCT) to be held at the University's centre in Paris.
The Summer School, from 13 to 24 June 2016, offers a unique intellectual experience to early career academics and research students. It is supported by Kent Law School and its Centre for Critical Thought and has been jointly organised by Professor in Law, Maria Drakopoulou and Law Lecturer Connal Parsley.
Seminars will be led by three academics; Professor Samantha Frost (University of Illinois); Professor James Martel (San Francisco State University); and Bernard Stiegler (University of Technology of Compiegne and Director of the Institute for Research and Innovation at the Georges Pompidou Center, Paris).
Last year’s inaugural Summer School was attended by 40 early career researchers and doctoral candidates from around the world. Professor Drakapoulou said: ‘All the students agreed that their sustained and vigorous participation in a small group led by a scholar with whom they would not otherwise have had the opportunity to study, had been a unique transformative intellectual experience. And all participants, invited scholars and students alike, found the event a highly stimulating and worthwhile exchange; a unique pedagogical journey.’
The tuition fee for this year’s Summer School is £850. Applicants are required to submit a letter outlining their research and intellectual interests, together with a CV, no later than 14 March 2016. Further details, including information about access to limited financial assistance, are available on the Kent Summer School in Critical Theory website.
