About Us
About Us

We are a group of writers, researchers, educators, and academic enthusiasts who think that everyone should be able to understand complicated concepts, not just those who have access to postgraduate seminars or university libraries. Our editorial focus lies at the nexus of media studies, sociology, cultural theory, and the surprisingly rich collecting culture that has developed around David Gauntlett's seminal educational card series since its inception at theory.org.uk in 2000.

You've come to the right place whether you're a student discovering Foucault for the first time, a teacher searching for cutting-edge teaching resources, a collector searching for the AltaMira Press edition, or just someone wondering why a deck of cards with deceased theorists has become one of the most popular academic resources of the past 25 years.
