London Conference in Critical Thought

Hosted in 2023 by the School of Social Sciences and Professions, London Metropolitan University, the LCCT is an annual interdisciplinary conference that provides a forum for emergent critical scholarship, broadly construed. The event is always FREE for all to attend and follows a non-hierarchical model that seeks to foster opportunities for intellectual critical exchanges where all are treated equally regardless of affiliation or seniority. There are no keynotes and the conference is envisaged as a space for those who share intellectual approaches and interests but may find themselves on the margins of their academic department or discipline.
