The Centre for Practice Theory at Lancaster provides an intellectual home and one-stop-shop for resources, events, and networking opportunities for the international, interdisciplinary community of researchers working with the ideas and approaches of social Practice Theory. In doing so, it aims to raise the profile of and showcase practice theoretical research and to connect research, ideas, and people across disciplines and topics.

Since the centre was launched in 2022 (see a short video welcome from Professor Simon Guy, and pictures from the launch), we’ve developed numerous activities including:

An annual international and online conference – The Practice Theory Gathering;

Online Reading Rooms – which are open for anyone to join;
Online Postgraduate Course;
Summer school 
A repository of resources related to Practice Theory

If you would like to join the monthly mailing list to keep up to date with news and events, or if you have a resource, network, or event you want to share on the website, email s.blue@lancaster.ac.uk
