Social and Political Thought PhD

Politics is inextricable from human society and our teaching reflects this. Our interdisciplinary approach goes beyond the academic divisions between sociology and social theory, and political theory and political philosophy. <br/><br/>You have the opportunity to work on a wide range of research projects, including:<br/><br/><br/>- various European traditions of social theory, political sociology, and Marxist and Frankfurt School critical theory<br/><br/><br/>- Anglo-American political theory, constructivist theory from Kant to Rawls, and communitarian or neo-Aristotelian theory<br/><br/><br/>- figures of social and political thought, from Aristotle to Habermas<br/><br/><br/>- issues in postcolonialism, feminism and race critical theory.<br/><br/><br/>We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
