 The Institute for Social Research (*Institut für Sozialforschung*) was founded in Frankfurt a century ago, in 1923. To mark the occasion of its founding and growth over the last one hundred years, the [Harvard Colloquium for Intellectual History](https://ces.fas.harvard.edu/study-groups/harvard-colloquium-for-intellectual-history) at the will convene at the [Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies](http://ces.fas.harvard.edu/) at Harvard University, bringing together some of the scholars who have played a major role in the interpretation and transformation of critical theory in both Europe and America.

 This two-day conference marks the 50th year since the initial publication in 1973 of Martin Jay’s *The Dialectical Imagination*, a book that was crucial to the early reception of Frankfurt School critical theory in North America and beyond.
