The theory program offers graduate students (majors and minors) an exciting array not only of seminars and research opportunities, but also ancillary programs such as conferences. Faculty regularly offer seminars covering historical, topical, and interdisciplinary approaches to political theory. Through the graduate research assistants program, our students work with faculty on books and articles for publication as early as their first year of study. Students are encouraged to develop both an expertise in their areas of specialization, and broad understanding of the practice of the discipline of political science. Political theorists, colleagues from other subfields, and members of many other departments in the College of Liberal Arts attend the myriad events sponsored by the theory program. These include regular meetings of the Theory Convocation, an informal setting for the presentation of work in progress by local and visiting scholars, annual and occasional conferences on topics in political theory, and events sponsored by the Texas chapter of the Conference for the Study of Political Thought. The work of students of political theory is supported on campus not only by the theory program, but also by the Department of Political Science, the Glasscock Center for Humanities Research, the College of Liberal Arts, and other related departments and research groups. Graduate students in political theory at Texas A&M University enjoy a collegial and intellectual stimulating atmosphere in which to pursue their inquiries into some of the most important questions about the history and practice of politics.
