Center for Social Theory
Director: Harry F. Dahms
The purpose of the Center for Social Theory at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville is to support the research and teaching of faculty and graduate students in the College of Arts & Sciences and across the university who are working in the broad area of social and cultural theory. The Center makes available the results of and advances in theoretical and interdisciplinary research to the campus and larger community, provides a forum (including conferences, lectures, panel discussions, presenting work in progress) for active exchange in and across the social sciences and humanities, while also acknowledging developments in the natural and applied sciences. At present, the A&S departments most actively represented are Sociology, English, Philosophy, History, Anthropology, Political Science, and Geography.
