In Praise of Michael Roberts & His Scholarship-by Richard Koenigsberg
Source:Thuppahis
I’ve attended, lectured, and presented papers at more than seventy conferences during the last thirty years. During this period, I interacted with and eventually published papers from some of the greatest scholars in the world, including Michael Geyer, Walter Skya, Scott Atran, Omer Bartov, Kelly Denton-Borhaug, Michael Vlahos, Stephen Fritz, Roger Griffen, Jeffrey Herf, Nancy Kobrin, Mark Levene, Jordan Peterson, Robert Proctor and James Tyner.
You’ve read papers and articles by many of these great scholars on the Foundation for the Study of Political Pathology website. You may be familiar with many of the scholars mentioned above.
There is one scholar, however with whom I’ve interacted—you may not be familiar with him. He’s from the other side of the world. Michael Roberts (click here) can be described as a historical anthropologist. His work engages the political relations of power and straddles the disciplines of Politics, Sociology, Anthropology and History.
Michael is one of the most powerful thinkers I’ve had the good fortune of interacting with. Please follow his writing on Thuppahi’s Blog.
