The International Association for Critical Realism was established in 1997 with the basic objective of serving as a networking and facilitating resource for anyone broadly sympathetic to, or concerned with, realist philosophy and social theory. To this end IACR
- facilitates an annual international conference
- maintains a mailing list for news of conferences and other IACR matters; you can ask to be added to this using the form at the bottom of the IACR home page.
- produces the Journal of Critical Realism
- manages the award of the annual Cheryl Frank Prize for a book on critical realism
You can join IACR by subscribing to the Journal of Critical Realism here or renew an existing membership here. The IACR Constitution and Rules are available here.
The current President is Karim Knio and the General Secretary is Sandy Rao. See the IACR website for a list of other current office holders.
