Politics is deeply intertwined with human civilization, and our curriculum mirrors this connection. Our multidisciplinary method transcends traditional academic boundaries separating sociology from social theory, as well as political theory from political philosophy.
Students can engage with diverse research initiatives, such as:
different European schools of social theory, political sociology, and critical theories from Marxist and Frankfurt School perspectives
Anglo-American political philosophy, Kantian to Rawlsian constructivist theories, and communitarian or neo-Aristotelian frameworks
key thinkers in social and political philosophy, spanning from Aristotle to contemporary theorists like Habermas
topics in postcolonial studies, feminist theory, and critical race theory.
