Critical Approaches

This section aims to bring together Panels representing/ dealing with critical perspectives, including feminism, critical theory, green politics, constructivism, post-structuralism and post-colonialism and articulating a progressive or alternative approach to issues in contemporary politics. We welcome Panels to engage with dominant assumptions in mainstream political science as well as re-visiting central categories of critical political approaches, such as ideologies, norms, borders, identities, political struggles, subjectivity, social change, biopolitics etc. Panels can undertake theoretical and methodological reflections or they can present empirical applications of these concepts within specific policy fields.
