Overview

Artworks, literary and philosophical texts, media technologies and social and political practices are at the heart of research.

Features

Researchers in this Critical and Cultural Theory program at Södertörn University are united by a shared concept: the idea that the humanities are the place in which human society examines and gains awareness of itself.

One important profile area comprises critical and cultural studies related to the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe, thanks to close cooperation with the Centre for Baltic and East European Studies (CBEES) at Södertörn University.
