Political Theory Subfield Workshop

Catalog description

This subfield workshop is a 2-credit (pass/fail) subfield workshop, intended to aid students in developing presentation and workshop participation skills that are crucial for scholarly participation in political theory, a subfield of political science focused on the normative and philosophical analysis of politics. The course consists of weekly research presentations in the field of political theory and political philosophy. Some weeks are research presentations by outside, invited speakers who are doing cutting edge work in the subfield. Other weeks are research presentations by NYU Politics PhD students and visiting PhD students (the latter when space permits). The course is open to Ph.D. students in the Politics Department in years 2 through 4 for enrollment, and to students in year 1 and year 5 for auditing. Visiting PhD students and PhD students in other departments may audit with permission of the instructor.
