Expectations and Advice
A summary of my expectations as well as general advice about reading, writing, and speaking in political theory courses.Office Hours
Each term I set aside several hours a week to talk to students about
all sorts of issues. Some come to talk because they are struggling with
a course, some to seek academic advice, and some are just interested in
discussing politics and political theory. Please sign up for an
appointment during my office hours using your google calendar. Just go
to your calendar, type my email into the space on the left under “other
calendars” to see my calendar, click on the office hours that you wish
to attend and book an appointment slot. If you
have questions, feel free to contact me.
