The OSU Political Theory WorkshopThe OSU Political Theory Workshop is a forum for theorists from Ohio State and other universities to present and to discuss their research in progress. We meet three or four times per quarter, autumn through spring, usually at noon time on Fridays. The Political Theory Workshop is pluralist in its approach and interdisciplinary in its orientation. We are open to a wide range of contributions, including historical, analytic, interpretive, and critical theory, as well as theoretically engaged empirical research. We welcome interested faculty and graduate students from all fields and all departments. Papers are available electronically one week ahead of each meeting. 2009-2010 Mark Warren, University of British Columbia Alexander Wendt, The Ohio State University William Scheuerman, Indiana University Eric MacGilvray, The Ohio State University 2008-2009 Joshua Cohen, Stanford University
