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 post-pandemic-peripatetics in 2022 and beyond (though the boring and comprehensive list can be found below if interested).
Most of these talks, at least since 2010, have been on ‘normative behaviourism’, ‘public political philosophy’, or my over-arching ‘QTM’ framework for thinking about methods/methodology in political theory (and related book manuscript).
Really good in any case to be out and about after two years (2020-2022) of ‘lock-downs’, home-schooling, bereavements, personal health challenges, and even more fun things besides…
