Associate Professor Patchen Markell has wide-ranging interests in contemporary social and political theory and the history of political thought, cutting across divisions between continental and Anglo-American, ancient and modern, textual and contextual. He has written or taught on such themes as the politics of recognition, democratic theory, the nature of agency, culture and domination, the symbolic politics of gender and sexuality, responsibility, universalism, "constitutional patriotism," and the role of affect in politics; and on such figures as Sophocles, Aristotle, Herder, Marx, Hegel, Arendt, Habermas, Taylor and Kymlicka. He has recently completed a book entitled Bound by Recognition, and he has published essays and reviews in Political Theory, Ethics, Constellations, and elsewhere. He is a co-director of the Political Theory Workshop, a member of the Late Liberalism Project at the Center for Gender Studies, a member of the board of Wilder House, and a member of the editorial committee of Public Culture.
