  • advance scholarly interaction, collaboration, and debate among political theorists;

  • support teaching, research, and publishing in political theory, political philosophy, and related forms of interdisciplinary studies;

  • organize annual conferences devoted to political thought; and

  • promote political theory in the academy.

APT welcomes as members faculty, independent scholars, and graduate students with an interest in political thought from all disciplines.
