Non-Western International Relations Theory

ptj — Mon, 03 May 2010 21:50:30 +0000

Discussant comments made during the book launch and discussion for Barry Buzan and Amitav Acharya’s edited book Non-Western International Relations Theory, American University, 3 May 2010. Both editors made remarks before my comments, but as usual I didn’t record those since I didn’t have their permission to do so.

Florida methodology workshop

ptj — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:38:54 +0000

Shorter book talk, delivered as part of the University of Florida’s workshop on “Epistemology and Method in International Relations.” Not crazy about the workshop title — none of the participants were! — but it was a wonderful workshop all the same.

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.

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.

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 02:10:00 +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.)
