Each year, the Association for Adorno Studies meets in a different country to discuss a topic related to the author.
This year, the meeting is taking place in France, at the University of Picardie Jules Verne in Amiens.

The event is open to the public, but please book in advance with Anne-Gaëlle Bled: bledannegaelle@gmail.com
The goal of the association is to foster inquiry into Adorno’s thought and to make the results of this research available to a community of scholars. Given Adorno’s interest in and contributions to the history of philosophy, epistemology, phenomenology, existentialism, ontology, aesthetics, critical and social theory, and other areas besides, we believe it is of paramount importance to constitute an association that allows not only for a gathering of scholars, but also establishes a presence in the academic community, and ultimately, in light of Adorno’s own sensibilities, supports a means for theoretical and practical possibilities as yet unimagined. The association actively encourages interdisciplinary conversation in the hopes of creating synergies for new lines of research that can ultimately prove important for novel disciplinary concerns. Finally, the association takes seriously Adorno’s aspirations for social change and hopes to encourage and provide a means for engagement with the world at large.
The association was founded by Martin Shuster and Kathy Kiloh in 2011.
Its current president and vice president is Surti Singh and Pierre-François Noppen, respectively.
