"Where/what is the 'critical' in critical finance studies?"

Speakers:

Bill Maurer (University of California, Irvine)
Johnna Montgomerie (Goldsmiths, University of London)
Nathaniel Tkacz (University of Warwick)
Lauren Tooker (University of Warwick)

This inaugural roundtable of the Warwick Critical Finance Group brings together panellists from across the disciplines to discuss the contested character of the ‘critical’ in critical finance studies. Scholars of finance are often drawn into the role of critical observer. But what does it mean to adopt a critical relation to finance?
What ethical and political commitments do critical finance studies enable? Are there other types of critical engagement beyond critique? Roundtable participants will reflect on these and other questions, as well as the differences and continuities between finance studies in their respective fields.
All are welcome. The event will be followed by an informal drinks reception.
