“I don't know how SCT achieved such a warm collective of intellectual vigor online. I will offer that it must be some combination of art, magic, and vision!” (Christian Gregory, 2020-2021 SCT participant)
In a special series of tuition-free mini-seminars and lectures, hosted online, faculty members, graduate students and independent scholars from around the world gathered together to explore recent developments in critical theory - as it pertains to our present moment and in preparation for the intensive six-week in-person course of study in 2021. The below videos feature sections of the online sessions, recorded live on Zoom.
