Allen is a political theorist who has published widely
in democratic theory, political sociology, and the history of
political thought. As a democratic theorist and historian of
political thought, she investigates core values, such as equality,
non-domination or freedom, and trustworthiness. As a political
sociologist, she analyzes relations among legal structures, political
values, and power dynamics, as well as foundational practices such as
punishment, deliberation, opinion-formation, and citizenship generally.
This year she continues work on the concept of equality and on
assessing whether concepts of “paradigm
shift” can be
useful for analyzing political change. View Professor Allen's curriculum vitae |
