Crisis and Critique

Crisis and Critique, is a journal of political thought and philosophy, appearing two times a year. It has an international audience and readership, authors, and editorial board. The podcast will not reproduce any content of the journal but operate as its extension. Therefore topics will not necessarily resonate with those dealt with in the journal. The Crisis and Critique podcast seeks to intervene and reflect, discuss and engage from a philosophical perspective what happens outside of philosophy. It will therefore invite guests from a diverse array of practices.
