What is Political Theory?: Methods, Schools and Disciplines

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Session Description

This roundtable discussion brings together graduates of LSU & the Eric Voegelin Institute to reflect on the practice of political theory today. The wide-ranging curriculum studied there prepared each of us to practice political theory in different ways. We believe this scholarly training and experience enables us to offer fresh, non-doctrinaire answers to questions about the nature of political theory and to think constructively about the discipline's future.
