Critical Theory in the Global South brings together scholars from North America, South Africa, and Latin America. The ten projects developed under this umbrella between 2017-2022 facilitated graduate student exchanges, book and article translations, and cross-institutional workshops and conferences. The result was the formation of new open-access curricula reflecting the global reach of critical theory nowadays.

Critical Theory in the Global South centers on the development of cross-institutional graduate scholarship while emphasizing collaborative academic exchange. Seven of the sub-projects were based at Northwestern University while three were based at other universities, including Yale, Rutgers, and Fordham.

Critical Theory in the Global South was designed with the support of Northwestern University and received funding from The Mellon Foundation as part of the International Consortium of Critical Theory Programs (ICCTP) initiative.
