Critical Voices in Critical Times

Since the Arab uprisings of 2011, the world has witnessed a stream of popular protest movements, the acceleration of extreme inequality, precarity and migration, unhinged populisms, and a planetary tipping point. What vocabulary, concepts and ideas are needed to make sense of the present moment? Critical Voices in Critical Times,  informed by principles of critical pedagogy, engages the ideas and works of critical thinkers. It provides a space to think with the thinkers and deliberate about praxis, ways of understanding -or reading- our world and putting affirmative ideas into action.
