Social and Political Theory Program

Social and Political Theory is a growing area of interest in Australia and internationally and is strongly represented in the Australian National University. SPT involves a number of disciplines, including Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology, Economics, and Law, and members of these different disciplines within the ANU maintain close communication around themes in the area.

The core members of SPT—Geoff Brennan, John Dryzek, and Robert Goodin—are also members of other academic programs within RSSS. But they additionally organize SPT events, including seminars, workshops, the annual John Passmore Lecture, and visits from overseas scholars. The Head of SPT is Robert Goodin.
