Lehigh talk

ptj — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 14:19:15 +0000

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.

Battlestar Galactica as methodology

ptj — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:24:54 +0000

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.

Sociology of IR panel

ptj — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:19:24 +0000

My somewhat elliptical discussant comments from a panel entitled “What Language(s) Do You Speak? KNowlegde, Networks and Sociology of IR,” from the 2010 ISA conference in New Orleans.

Two Philosophers Shoveling Snow

ptj — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 22:40:58 +0000

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

ptj — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:43:04 +0000

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.

Conduct of Inquiry book talk — USC

ptj — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:54:24 +0000

Here’s a talk on my new book “The Conduct of Inquiry in International Relations” — scheduled for release this summer — that I gave at the University of Southern California, 25 January 2010. Watch this space for more book talks over the next few months.

ptj — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 02:07:06 +0000

Margaret Keck’s presentation from the 2009 ISA-Northeast workshop on Interpretive and Relational Research Methodologies. (Due to some bizarre recording errors, the talk is in four pieces, and there are a few small gaps between the pieces where the recording was unusable.)
