Center for New Critical Politics and Governance

At CPG we aim at adressing the big questions on our planet. A new humanist-based assessment is necessary to understand our current transformative experience after more than a decade of so-called ‘poly-crisis’. We wish to engage with the times we live in from humanist and transdisciplinary viewpoints, develop theory and research perspectives, build a community in Aarhus, Denmark and the world, and create content that matters for educational purposes, policy-makers, research communities, and the wider public. To foster dialogue we trust in innovative forms of output. CPG is home to critical and constructive scholarship. On our homepage you will find research themes, podcasts and our essay-collection being created in collaboration with University of California Press. At CPG our goals are to...
