Research Unit in Contemporary Political Theory

Please note that this is a legacy entry reflecting past infrastructure activity and contributions. It is not currently active.

Description

The research unit in contemporary political theory brings together staff and doctoral researchers in Politics and International Relations with interests in political ideas, ideologies, philosophies and theories.

The unit explores how concepts and ideas shape numerous fields – from intellectual history to current politics, from European and extra-European philosophical traditions, and from political critique to public policy.

The unit's researchers explore a variety of theory-related themes such as anarchism and post-anarchism, political theology, phenomenology and the continental tradition, psychoanalysis, aesthetics, rhetoric, and intellectuals and ideologies in public life.

The Unit has since closed; its last seminar series ran in 2020-21.
