Yale School of Critical Theory

The Yale School of Critical Theory is a group of scholars at Yale University who study and teach ideas from philosophy, sociology, literature, and cultural studies. They focus on understanding how power, society, and culture shape human experiences. Inspired by European intellectual movements like Frankfurt School and French theory, their work often challenges mainstream ideas, questioning social norms and seeking to uncover hidden forces influencing our lives. They promote critical thinking about issues like oppression, identity, and social change, aiming to foster deeper insights into how societies function and how they can be transformed.
