Supporting critical voices at every stage
PSSSR's publications and programs exist to nurture serious intellectual work beyond the academy — funding emerging writers, supporting independent scholars, and publishing critical theory for general audiences.
Honoring work outside the Institutions
The PSSSR Awards platform figures whose polemical or unorthodox work has achieved real cultural influence, work that has largely outpaced the gatekeeping mechanisms of traditional institutions and media.
Intellectual life shouldn't be restricted to people with access to elite institutions.
PSSSR Fellows spend a year in residence working on an independent research project with access to our seminars, working groups, and peer network. Fellows receive a stipend and are expected to contribute one public lecture.
