School of Criticism and Theory

The School of Criticism and Theory, now at Cornell University, is a summer program (offered in six-week seminars) in social science and literature. It is one of the most influential such programs in the United States to propagate the new dominant stream of "literary-critical-cultural 'theory'." The school was co-founded in 1976 by Murray Krieger, a prominent New Critic, at the University of California, Irvine,[1] and has previously been housed at Northwestern University and Dartmouth College. In 2011, Cornell hosted it for the thirteenth time.[2] In 2002, it was directed by Dominick LaCapra.[3]
