Political Theory Speaker Series

The Georgetown Political Theory Speaker Series provides an informal forum for the presentation of work in progress.

Unless otherwise noted, the series takes place on Fridays, from 11:00am to 12:30 pm

We are meeting in person again in the Edward B. Bunn Intercultural Center (ICC) Room 450 [see map] with the option to call in via zoom. 

Papers are distributed in advance via our mailing list.  To receive the papers and zoom details, please sign up. The series is open to the public. It usually consists of an initial response by a graduate student discussant followed by a Q&A session.
The Georgetown Political Theory Speaker Series is sponsored by the Department of Government.
