In October 2023, @bboudou.bsky.social offered me to co-edit a handbook on political theory with him. The publisher wanted it published by September 2025. I thought it was a joke. Benjamin did not.

Today, we are very happy to announce the publication of Théorie Politique!

"... committing to not knowing where it is going and the shape it will ultimately take is core to doing this work well ..."

New piece by Emily Beausoleil, "Decolonizing Deliberation: Experiments from Aotearoa New Zealand," doi.org/10.1017/S000...
Screen capture of some of the concluding words in Emily Beausoleil's article: "The next phase of the project will be a significant one, as the group turns to questions of the assembly's specific design as well as uptake and implementation once recommendations are in hand. It is far from clear how this phase itself should be designed, or the work and roles allocated between these two groups and others in the broader Porirua community. But, as various TPS members observe, committing to not knowing where it is going and the shape it will ultimately take is core to doing this work well, as Te Tiriti and co-design partners"
