    Alberto Toscano, professor emeritus of Critical Theory at Goldsmiths, University of London, and currently teaching at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, divides his current research into three main strands: a theoretical and historical inquiry into the politics of authoritarianism and their links to the racial, geopolitical and gendered crises of capital; artistic efforts to represent or ‘map’ racial capitalism, and in the revitalization of a critical theory of political action informed by anti-colonial and anti-racist thought; the translation and reception of Italian literature, literary criticism, and critical theory.
