Since 2007 every year we organize the international Critical Theory conference in different academic venues. These conferences usually gather between 110 and 150 speakers from all over the world from prestigious academic and non-academic institutions. Among the past keynoters we had the pleasure of hosting major scholars such as Deborah Cook, Peter Dews, Andrew Feenberg, Rahel Jaeggi, Martin Jay, Stephan Lessenich, Max Pensky, Stefano Petrucciani and many others.
The organization of these conference has traditionally been coordinated by Stefano Giacchetti Ludovisi, and currently by Bahar Tahsily. The committee supervising the academic standards includes: Andrew Cutrofello (Acting Chair), Alessandro Ferrara, Bahar Tahsily, Colby Dickinson, David Ingram, Dianne Rothleder, Hille Haker, Hugh Miller, Stefano Giacchetti (Acting Coordinator)
The 2026 Conference will be hosted by Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna – Department of the Arts (DAR) , located in Via Barberia 4, Bologna, Italy.
