Welcome

The Association for Political Theory (APT) was founded in 2000 to promote the study of political theory and political philosophy in North America. Specifically, the Association seeks to:

• advance scholarly interaction, collaboration, and debate among political theorists;
• support teaching, research, and publishing in political theory, political philosophy, and related forms of interdisciplinary studies;
• organize annual conferences devoted to political thought; and
• promote political theory in the academy.

APT welcomes as members faculty, independent scholars, and graduate students with an interest in political thought from all disciplines.
