The workshop features papers by Yale faculty members, visiting scholars, and graduate students in the fields of political philosophy, social theory, ethics, intellectual history, and related disciplines. Papers are distributed in advance when available and participants come prepared to discuss them in detail.

The Political Theory Workshop meets Wednesdays from 4:15-6:00 p.m. at Rosenkranz Hall, 115 Prospect Street, Room 202. The seminar is followed by a reception in the faculty lounge, room 227.
