The Global Theories of Critique (GTC) workshop at the University of Michigan revolves around the practice of un-disciplining knowledge. Each speaker will open up the session with the body of theory and/or practice they strive to un-disciplinee and challenge in their work, followed by a round-table discussion of the speakers’ work that the participants will read beforehand. In our January 2022 meeting, we will be examining anthropological practices in theory and the archives by looking at the long-lost archive of Arab Marxism with Dr. Fadi Bardawil, Duke University.
