Welcome to day 1 of #APT2025: First Book Manuscript Workshop, Theory Seminar Pre-Conference Roundtable, and our opening reception. See you downtown at Loyola Chicago’s Schreiber Center!
irst Book Manuscript Workshop (all are welcome!) 12:30-3:30 PM Room: Schreiber 806 Mie Inouye, Bard College Antinomies of Organizing Chair: Cigdem Cidam, Union College Respondents: Nancy Luxon, University of Minnesota Lori Marso, Union College George Shulman, New York University Philip Yaure, Virginia Tech Pre-Conference Theory Workshop 2:30-4:30 PM Room: Schreiber 807 Toward a Political Theory of Mutual Comradeship Facilitator: Charisse Burden-Stelly, Wayne State University The APT Theory Seminar creates space for sustained conversations around themes that have at times been sidelined and marginalized from mainstream political theory teaching and scholarship. Our hope is that the in-person discussion will generate new frames and questions that attendees will bring to later panels at the conference. Pre-Conference Roundtable 4:30-6:00 PM Room: Schreiber 806 Academic Freedom in a Time of Genocide/Scholasticide This roundtable will explore how the ongoing genocide and scholasticide in Gaza shape the material responsibilities of knowledge workers at U.S. universities. How does the crime of genocide in Palestine lead to a crisis of speech in the US? How does scholasticide in Palestine demand a political and material rethinking of the meaning of academic freedom? What new forms of pedagogy and scholarship does the intensification of campus repression require?

The CFP for our First Book Manuscript Workshop is now open. This is a chance for junior scholars - especially those outside R1s/high research activity institutions - to receive critical feedback on a penultimate draft of a book manuscript from senior scholars. Check your email for details.
