All seminars at 3pm and will take place via Zoom. Papers will be precirculated one week in advance of the seminars to facilitate discussion. If you would like to receive an invite, please email Andrew Shorten (andrew.shorten@ul.ie). Members of the PSAI Political Theory specialist group need not do this, as they will automatically receive an invite to attend each seminar. The seminars will begin with a short presentation by the speaker (five to ten minutes maximum) and then move on to discussion of the speaker’s paper and will last circa 1 to 1 ½ hours.
