Centre For Research In Modern European Philosophy - Crmep

A centre for postgraduate study and research in Continental Philosophy at Kingston University, with links to University of Paris 8.

Since CRMEP's inception in 1994 it has developed a national and international reputation for teaching, research and publication in the field of post-Kantian European philosophy, characterised by a strong emphasis on broad cultural and intellectual contexts and a distinctive sense of social and political engagement.

The CRMEP runs a PhD programme and four MA programmes: the MA in Modern European Philosophy, the MA in Contemporary European Philosophy (a European MA run jointly with the University of Paris 8), the MA in Aesthetics and Art Theory, and the MA in Philosophy and Contemporary Critical Theory. There are normally 40-50 MA students and 20-30 PhD students enrolled in CRMEP programmes.

CRMEP members participate in a wide range of research events, and the Centre also hosts a regular series of research seminars, workshops and international conferences.

Alumni of the Centre work in a wide range of university disciplines and in art and other cultural institutions both in the UK and across Europe.

CRMEP's staff are Éric Alliez, Etienne Balibar, Howard Caygill, Peter Hallward, Catherine Malabou, Peter Osborne and Stella Sandford.
