The Association for Global Political Thought

The Association for Global Political Thought is a graduate-led network of scholarship on political ideas in the international society and global contexts, based at Harvard University. It convenes a seminar series each semester and hosts an annual conference for both emerging and established scholars around the world. 

The purpose of the AGPT is to work with existing initiatives positioned within and beyond the discipline to explore the innovations in theory, method, and empirics necessary for renovating a field that some describe as analytically exhausted in the face of contemporary, global political predicaments. Recognizing the hierarchical practices of boundary-drawing that have historically characterized this field, the project seeks to contribute to work that pioneering scholars have for decades undertaken to interrogate the discipline's constitutive exclusions and limits.
