The Department of Politics at The New School for Social Research, in collaboration with the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society at Columbia University’s “Curriculum Beyond the Classroom” initiative, is sponsoring a two-day graduate student conference interrogating the concept, history, practices and implications of radical democracy. We strive to assess its legacy from antiquity to contemporary radical democratic theory, as well as explore the work of contemporary theorists such as Abensour, Arendt, Castoriadis, Mouffe, Negri, Rancière, and Wolin.
