Very excited to share that we’ll be running a new political theory MA at @qmulsse.bsky.social from next year. If you know (or are) a talented student looking for a London postgraduate course in political theory that is practical, critical, and diverse, do have a look. www.qmul.ac.uk/postgraduate...

Still time to submit an abstract if cities, democracy, and the threat of creeping authoritarianism is your kind of thing.
