William Callison
I'm a political theorist with research interests in the history of political and economic thought, democratic theory, and critical theory. My work explores dilemmas of neoliberal capitalism, democratic crisis, political subjectivity, climate change politics, and far-right nationalist movements in Europe and the Americas.
​
I'm a Lecturer in Social Studies at Harvard University. Previously I was a Member in the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, a Postdoctoral Fellow in Human Geography at Uppsala University in Sweden, and a Visiting Assistant Professor of Government and Law at Lafayette College. I received a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley.
​
My book manuscript, Liberalism Gone Haywire, is under contract with Harvard University Press. I'm co-editor of Mutant Neoliberalism: Market Rule and Political Rupture (Fordham University Press) and “Europe at a Crossroads” (Near Futures Online), and special issue editor of "Rethinking Sovereignty and Capitalism" (Qui Parle). I'm also a member of the Zetkin Collective, a group of scholars and activists working on the political ecology of the far right.
