Lehigh talk

Filed under: ProfPTJ's Podcasts — ptj at 10:19 am on Thursday, February 25, 2010

The Conduct of Inquiry in International Relations, round two: a talk delivered at Lehigh University on 24 February 2010, to an audience mainly consisting of undergraduate students. Basically the same slides as the USC talk, but different audiences produce different emphases and an overall distinctive tone.

Filed under: ProfPTJ's Podcasts — ptj at 8:24 pm on Sunday, February 21, 2010

Here are my comments from the (in)famous Battlestar Galactica panel from ISA 2010 in New Orleans. The paper in question is still rather rough, but I’m happy with the overall shape it’s taking.

Two Philosophers Shoveling Snow

Filed under: ProfPTJ's Podcasts — ptj at 6:40 pm on Wednesday, February 17, 2010

Here is the live performance of my not-a-classic-of-philosophical-drama dialogue “Two Philosophers Shoveling Snow,” an earlier version of which was posted over at The Duck a few days ago. The attached file is the slides from which Benjamin Herborth and I read the dialogue during a roundtable on critical realism at the 2010 ISA annual meeting. I took the part of “Roy” the critical realist, and gave Benjamin the part of “Will” the pragmatist — and he started his subsequent presentation by announcing that he was not Will. Obviously I’m not Roy, either.

On Comparison

Filed under: ProfPTJ's Podcasts — ptj at 4:43 pm on Friday, February 12, 2010

This is a little presentation I whipped up for the ISA Compendium project. The title and the topic — “On Comparison” — are a bit of an outtake from my forthcoming book The Conduct of Inquiry in International Relations.
