The political theory Convocation is an informal monthly event for discussion of some aspect of political theory in convivial fashion, usually at the home of a faculty member. Participants include faculty and graduate students interested in political theory, including members of political science, philosophy, and history departments at Texas A&M and from other local universities.
The Convocation has been meeting for more than ten years. To be added to the Theory Convocation e-mail list, please send a request to Lisa Ellis at ellis@polisci.tamu.edu.
