21st annual conference international social theory consortium
"insecurity and 'post-history': are freedom, democracy, and rational approaches to problems-solving doomed?
The ISTC is a grouping of teaching and research programs in social theory around the planet. The annual conference provides a forum to discuss issues of importance to understanding current times and trends.
The Consortium's primary activity is the organization and hosting of annual conferences, usually (but neither exclusively nor necessarily) alternating between Europe and North America. Recent conferences were held in Knoxville and Tampa (online), in Dubrovnik, Croatia (2019), Chicago, Illinois (2018), Innsbruck, Austria (2017), Ames, Iowa (2016), Cambridge, UK (2015), and Knoxville, Tennessee (2014). The annual conference provides a forum for social and political theorists to discuss issues of importance to understanding current times and trends.
