Professional Development
Critical Theory Workshop Summer School 2022 (Paris, France)
The primary objective of the Critical Theory Workshop’s summer school is to provide an international
forum for transdisciplinary and politically relevant research that contributes to a coherent and sys-
tematic elucidation of the contemporary world. Participants are exposed to the work of contemporary
thinkers and engage with current debates with leading scholars from around the globe. Special atten-
tion is paid to traditions of thought that have been sidelined or suppressed in the academy, including
Marxism, the black radical tradition, anticolonial theory, socialist feminism, revolutionary thought from
the Global South and radical ecological thought.
At the time, I was workshopping ideas concerning the relationship between Friedrich Nietzsche and
́Edouard Glissant's theories of relational ontology, as part of a comparative study of Nietzsche's con-
cept of 'will to power' and Glissant's concept of 'Relation.'
