Applications are now open for the Kent Summer School in Critical Theory to be held at the University of Kent’s centre in Paris.

The Summer School, supported by Kent Law School and its interdisciplinary Centre for Critical Thought, has been created to offer a unique intellectual experience to early career academics and research students and has been jointly organised by Reader in Law Maria Drakopoulou and Law Lecturer Connal Parsley.

It will run at Reid Hall from 29 June to 10 July 2015.

Seminar teachers will be:

• Professor Peter Goodrich, Professor of Law at Cardozo Law School in the USA
• Professor Davide Tarizzo, an Italian philosopher, who teaches at the University of Salerno

Additional lectures will be given by Professor Geoffrey Bennington, Professor Davina Cooper, and Professor Roberto Esposito.

Successful applicants will work with one of the seminar teachers but will have the opportunity to hear lectures by all participating academics.

The cost for the school, exclusive of travel, accommodation and subsistence fees, is £850.

Applicants are required to submit a letter outlining their research and intellectual interests, together with a CV, no later than Monday 9 February 2015. 

Further details, including information about accommodation and access to limited financial assistance, is available on the Kent Summer School in Critical Theory webpage or by emailing kssct2015@kent.ac.uk.
