A photograph of a low, arched bridge over a river. Three arches are visible with a fourth arch concealed behind low hanging tree branches. The sky is a mostly cloud ranging in colour from white to dark grey. The river is low with the stony riverbed reveaaled in the left of the foreground. Current can be seen in the river between the two central arches.

Image of a description of the ethos of the MCCT it reads: The MCCT is an annual interdisciplinary conference that provides a forum for emergent critical scholarship, broadly construed. The conference is free for all to attend and follows a non-hierarchical model that seeks to foster opportunities for intellectual critical exchanges where all are treated equally regardless of affiliation or seniority. There are no plenaries, and the conference is envisaged as a space for those who share intellectual approaches and interests but who may find themselves at the margins of their academic department or discipline. The MCCT is an offshoot of the London Conference in Critical Thought (LCCT) and shares its approach and ethos.
