Global Politics Workshop @ NSSR Politics

The Global Politics Workshop (GPW) is an ongoing workshop for work-in-progress by graduate students and faculty at The New School for Social Research (NSSR); visiting scholars and postdoctoral fellows; and occasional invited presenters from other institutions. Running since 2018, and hosted by faculty in the Politics Department, it generally meets monthly on Tuesdays, 12:00-2:00 PM at the NSSR building, located at 6 E 16th Street in Manhattan, New York.

The workshop focuses on empirically focused, theoretically informed research about political processes that are transnational, international, or global. It is open in terms of thematic focus, subfields, and methodological approach. A list of past presentations can be found below. Papers should be sufficiently developed to be readable and cohesive in argumentation, but at a stage where discussion is useful.

Each workshop session has a pre-circulated paper of around 25-30 pages, which all are asked to read before attending the workshop. Most sessions feature short introductory remarks and commentary by a discussant, followed by open discussion. We aim to be a semi-regular community of researchers organized around an ethic of recurring reciprocity among authors, readers, commenters, and audience. Light refreshments served.

If you would like to present your work at GPW or be a discussant; receive emails about workshop events; or otherwise be connected to the workshop, please email the workshop coordinator Jens Jaanimägi at jaanj062@newschool.edu.
