I am one of the 'stream organizers' for a two-day conference this summer 
at Royal Holloway, University of London. Info here (with link to pdf

The second annual London Conference in Critical Thought (LCCT) will 
offer a space for an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas for scholars 
who work with critical traditions and concerns. It aims to provide 
opportunities for those who frequently find themselves at the margins of 
their department or discipline to engage with other scholars who share 
theoretical approaches and interests. Participation is free (though 
registration is required).

The conference is divided into thematic streams, each coordinated by 
different researchers and with separate calls for papers, included in 
this document. We welcome paper proposals that respond to the particular 
streams below, as well as papers for inclusion in a general stream.

Touching on broad themes -- including the relevance of historical 
theories today, responses to the crisis, the body, subjectivities, and 
praxis and action -- these streams provide the impetus for new points of 
dialogue. Central to the vision of the conference is an 
inter-institutional, non-hierarchal, and accessible event that makes a 
particular effort to embrace emergent thought and the participation of 
emerging academics, fostering new avenues for critically orientated 
scholarship and collaboration.
