Papers

Ethos maintains an online repository of political theory field papers and dissertation prospectuses. Thanks very much to those students who have volunteered to share their work with other students through this site.

To access the papers:

The papers have been temporarily moved to http://groups.google.com/group/ethos-ucla. They remain password-protected, and access is currently restricted to Ethos members only, and to theory professors, on request. Ethos members should have received an email inviting them to the Google Group "Ethos UCLA." Follow those instructions to access the papers; you will need to log on to the Ethos-UCLA Google Group with a Google account. [If you have trouble, email ethos-at-ucla.edu for help.] If you did not receive that email and would like to request access to the papers (e.g. if you are an incoming student or a professor), please email ethos{{at] ucla.edu and I will send you an invitation to the Ethos-UCLA Google Group so that you can access the papers. The Google Group site is temporary, until an internal file sharing system is set up within the department.
