Watson Institute presentation

May 8th, 2009 | Posted by ptj in ProfPTJ's Podcasts - (0 Comments)

Here’s the talk I delivered yesterday at the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University. This is a remix of the civilizations talk I have previously given at GW and Rutgers; this version/performance is more about the configuration of social-scientific disciplinary knowledge than previous versions was, because that’s where my brain is at the moment.

Requiem for Huntington, GW remix

March 5th, 2009 | Posted by ptj in ProfPTJ's Podcasts - (0 Comments)

This is a second version of my “requiem for Samuel P. Huntington” talk/presentation. In this version given at the Elliott School at George Washington University on 5 March — the slides have been remixed from the Rutgers version of the talk — I emphasized more strongly the vision of an agonistic social science dedicated to value-clarification. As before I use Huntington’s account of civilizations as a jumping-off point.
