Research students and faculty are publishing Studies in Social and Political Thought , an interdisciplinary journal of social and political thought. Aiming to provide a platform for first publication, particularly for post graduate writing, and to stimulate fruitful debate. Established in 1997, the Centre for Critical Social Theory brings together faculty and research students from the SPT programme and other parts of the University who have an interest in the interactions between the explanatory, the normative and the ideological dimensions of social and political thought.
