The Center for Interdisciplinary Critical Inquiry (CICI) fosters cross-divisional, cross-regional and global collaborations in order to address the key political, social, religious and cultural issues of our time. We are committed to thinking creatively across an array of fields to develop a capacious vision of the arts and the human and social sciences, in relation to critical thought, justice and ethics.
The Center for Interdisciplinary Critical Inquiry is pleased to announce that select recordings of its annual symposium, Demos Anxiety: "Great Replacement" Theory and Democracy, are now available.
The Center for Interdisciplinary Critical Inquiry offers summer research grants of up to $5,000 for graduate students and $1,000 for undergraduate students. Apply by midnight April 5, 2024.

The Program in Critical Theory was launched with the intention of providing graduate students the opportunity to train in true interdisciplinarity, bringing together some of the most rigorous and innovative forms of critique from across the humanities and social sciences.
