Emergencies of Authoritarianism is a project of the International Consortium of Critical Theory Programs (ICCTP) and facilitated by the Freie Universität Berlin. It is funded by the VolkswagenStiftung.

The International Consortium of Critical Theory Programs (ICCTP) aims to document and facilitate the new global contours of critical theory today, which are being renewed in light of pressing global challenges, by supporting critical thought both inside and outside the university in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and science and technology studies. The ICCTP is housed in the Program in Critical Theory at UC Berkley and has established an active network of over 500 programs, projects, centers, and institutions from almost all regions of the globe and 47 countries, which now constitutes the largest international network in the humanities located in the UC system. The ICCTP was established in 2016 through a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and 2019 renwend throuh a second grant from the Mellon Foundation.

Emergencies of Authoritarianism closely works with local partners in order to co-organize events and publications. Local academic partners include the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA, The Netherlands), the Critical Racial & Anti-Colonial Study co-laboratory-CRACS at the New York University (USA), the Center for Interdisciplinary Critical Inquiry at UC Berkeley (USA), the Center for Social Critique Berlin (Germany), the CritUp Network Berlin (Germany), the Department of Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina), the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico, Mexico City (Mexico), and the Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi (India). We also coordinate closely with the project “Counter-Imaginaries in Authoritarian Times”, funded by the Andrew Mellon Foundation.

In addition, we work with multiple non-academic individuals, groups and initiatives, such as journalists, NGO’s, human rights groups, activists, unions, and art and culture institutions.
