Jay Bernstein (New School for Social Research) – Right Didier Fassin (Institute for Advanced Study/Princeton) – Punishment Chair – Sharon Krause (Brown University The goal of Political Concepts is to serve as a platform for revising, inventing, and experimenting with concepts while exploring the political dimension of their use and dissemination. Participants operate under the assumption that our era urgently needs a revised political lexicon that would help us better understand the world in which we live and act, and that the humanities at large can and should contribute toward such a revision. In the past, some of the participants revised key political concepts while others showed the political work done by terms and common nouns that are not usually considered “political.” December 2, 2016 Brown University
