\n

Co-Leaders<\/strong>
\nBurke Hendrix<\/a>, Associate Professor, University of Oregon
\nLeigh Jenco<\/a>, Associate Professor, London School of Economics and Political Science<\/p>\n

Description<\/b>
\nThis workshop will focus on research in the field of comparative political theory. By broadening the traditional canon of political thought to include global and non-western intellectual traditions, comparative political theory opens up new avenues for research while also raising important methodological questions. Dissertations on a range of topics in comparative political thought are welcome. Before the workshop each student participant will share one draft of a dissertation chapter, and all participants will read each other’s work in advance and prepare feedback. Faculty leaders and students will discuss the drafts and provide detailed comments. Each graduate participant will be expected to offer formal comments on one of the papers, scheduled in advance. The workshop will also provide students with a network of peers in the field and allow for a discussion about the state of political theory more broadly.<\/p>\n
