New humanities institute: The Paris Institute for Critical Thinking (PICT)

The Paris Institute for Critical Thinking (PICT) is a non-profit educational organization located in Paris, France. Founded in early 2018 by a group of international scholars, artists, and professionals, PICT offers university-quality humanities courses in the English language to audiences beyond the university.

PICT aims to address 3 basic challenges:

• A growing number of students and universities regard higher education through the lens of vocational training. This increases the demand for applied, quantifiable courses and marginalizes the humanities.
• The academic job market is under a lot of stress, which means that many promising young scholars find themselves without jobs, in exploitative adjunct positions, and/or teaching survey courses with little relevance to their passion and research.
• While the city of Paris boasts some of the most impressive cultural and intellectual programming in the world, it lacks sufficient offerings that allow Parisians to employ the English language in critical reflection and sophisticated discussion.

PICT gives learners of all ages a chance to engage with the humanities and critical thinking beyond the university. It offers young academics the opportunity to teach courses reflecting their own interests and be compensated fairly: 70% of enrollment fees are passed on directly to the instructor. And it provides English-speaking Parisians of all backgrounds with a space to combine the best of the city with the best of critical thinking.

There are many ways for scholars to engage with PICT right away:

• You can spread the word about our course offerings to interested learners.
• You can design your own course or workshop and apply to join PICT as a visiting faculty member .
• You can propose an institutional partnership between PICT and your university, institute, or foundation.
• You can deliver a one-off public lecture organized by PICT during your next visit to Paris.

For more information about PICT, please check out our manifesto , our FAQ , our courses , and our faculty page. You can also follow us on Facebook , Twitter , and Instagram . Please e-mail us with any questions or comments you may have--we look forward to hearing from you!

The Last Ottoman #4: Iain T. Benson, Religious Pluralism & The Law

Our fourth guest is Iain T. Benson, legal scholar (Sydney, Australia) Monday, December 17, 2022 Nothing that was built over centuries can collapse overnight. And while the paper on which the Ottoman Empire ceased to exist in 1923 degrades a little more with each passing day, the legacy of the empire it officially ended is very much alive today. Welcome to The Last Ottoman, with David Selim Sayers, a podcast series in which we take a critical look at the Ottoman Empire and its place in our world today. website: https://parisinstitute.org/ soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/parisinstitute instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisinstitute/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisinstitute.org/ twitter: https://twitter.com/paris_critical linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/school/paris-institute-for-critical-thinking/

Bookaholics #16: Jacob Soll, Free Market: The History of an Idea

Our sixteenth interview is with Jacob Soll, philosophy scholar (LA, USA) by Kristof K.P. Vanhoutte (Basel, Switzerland) Thursday, February 9, 2023 Welcome to Bookaholics. If there is one vice that all PICT faculty have in common, it’s our addiction to the written word. And while we crave the written word in all its forms, we have a special hunger for the book, perhaps the most enticing way in which words were ever put together. In this podcast, we will introduce you to some of our favorite books—recent books, relevant books, our own books of course, but also classic books that we just can’t seem to stop talking and teaching about. website: https://parisinstitute.org/ soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/parisinstitute instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisinstitute/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisinstitute.org/ linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/school/paris-institute-for-critical-thinking/

Dates with Death #6: Jan Age Sigvartsen

Our sixth interview is with Jan Age Sigvartsen, theologian (Michiana, USA) Tuesday, November 15, 2022 Death has become a taboo in the West, almost completely banished from our lives. But meditating upon death, at least according to Cicero, is the quintessential task of philosophy, and it is this task that PICT core faculty member Kristof K.P. Vanhoutte takes up in Dates With Death. Dates With Death hopes to make the topic of death less distant: today, it seems we are solely terrified by it, with no decent way to talk about it anymore. Dates With Death hopes to put death in historical context: different cultures have dealt with it in different ways at different times, and there might be something to learn from that. Finally, Dates With Death hopes to show exactly what our (not) dealing with death reveals about our own culture and society, from the way we assign our genders to the way we plan our cities. website: https://parisinstitute.org/ soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/parisinstitute instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisinstitute/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisinstitute.org/ twitter: https://twitter.com/paris_critical linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/school/paris-institute-for-critical-thinking/
