Welcome to day 1 of #APT2025: First Book Manuscript Workshop, Theory Seminar Pre-Conference Roundtable, and our opening reception. See you downtown at Loyola Chicago’s Schreiber Center!

irst Book Manuscript Workshop (all are welcome!)
12:30-3:30 PM
Room: Schreiber 806
Mie Inouye, Bard College
Antinomies of Organizing
Chair: Cigdem Cidam, Union College
Respondents:
Nancy Luxon, University of Minnesota Lori Marso, Union College
George Shulman, New York University
Philip Yaure, Virginia Tech

Pre-Conference Theory Workshop
2:30-4:30 PM
Room: Schreiber 807
Toward a Political Theory of Mutual Comradeship Facilitator: Charisse Burden-Stelly, Wayne State University
The APT Theory Seminar creates space for sustained conversations around themes that have at times been sidelined and marginalized from mainstream political theory teaching and scholarship. Our hope is that the in-person discussion will generate new frames and questions that attendees will bring to later panels at the conference.

Pre-Conference Roundtable
4:30-6:00 PM
Room: Schreiber 806
Academic Freedom in a Time of Genocide/Scholasticide
This roundtable will explore how the ongoing genocide and scholasticide in Gaza shape the material responsibilities of knowledge workers at U.S. universities. How does the crime of genocide in Palestine lead to a crisis of speech in the US? How does scholasticide in Palestine demand a political and material rethinking of the meaning of academic freedom?
What new forms of pedagogy and scholarship does the intensification of campus repression require?
