Seminar in Political Thought | Spring
2012
"By Manners, I mean not here, Decency of behaviour; as how one man
should salute another, or how a man should wash his mouth, or pick his
teeth before company, and such other points of the Small Morals; But
those qualities of man-kind, that concern their living together in
Peace, and Unity."
- Hobbes, Leviathan I.11

Expectations and Advice
A summary of my expectations as well as general advice about reading, writing, and speaking in political theory courses.Office Hours
This term my office hours will be on Tuesdays 3-4pm and Thursdays 1-2pm. Students can use this time to talk 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.
