Comparative Politics Workshop

Please join us for our last U of C-Northwestern joint workshop of the year, this Friday, April 29, at 6 pm (light refreshments will be served beginning at 5 pm). Our presenter will be Yale University’s Julia Adams, whose paper is entitled “Why No ‘Sovereignty’ in Sociology? Disciplinary History and Imperial Crisis.” Diana Kim, former workshop coordinator, has kindly agreed to be our discussant.

The workshop will be held in Lounge 420 (that’s one floor up from the usual room). Directions to Gleacher can be found at www.gleachercenter.com. The 6 bus is the easiest route from campus.

Hope to see you there!

Join us this Wednesday, April 6, to kick off the Spring Quarter with our own Jonathan Obert, who’ll be presenting his paper, “The Illusion of a Violent Monopoly: Explaining Trajectories of Security Institutionalization.” Hope to see you there!
