Political Theory Colloquium

Please join us for a discussion of a paper by Jill Locke on November 17th. Locke is the James and Patricia McPherson Endowed Professor of American History at Gustavus Adolphus College. She is also professor of Political Science and Interim Director of the Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies Program and the author of Democracy and the Death of Shame (Cambridge, 2016). Locke's concept of "unashamed citizenship" and her work on the gendered and racialized politics of shame and shaming has been particularly influential in Scandinavian debates about democracy and citizenship. She is working on a new book, tentatively titled Girl Heroes, about the figure of the girl in democratic theory and politics. Lunch will be provided. RSVP by November 13th with your dietary preferences to skaul2@nd.edu.
