Papers, presentations, panels…

Hoping to properly organise everything here in due course, going right back to my first conference paper in 2007. For now though, published papers aside (see also here), I’ve focused on events from 2022 onwards (post-pandemic!).

It’s probably also fair to say that, going right back to 2010, most of these talks have been on at least one of the following topics: ‘normative behaviourism’, ‘public political philosophy’, or my over-arching ‘QTM’ framework for thinking about methods/methodology in political theory (and related book manuscript).
