Sovereignty‬‭ and‬‭ its‬‭ Discontents‬‭ (SAID)‬‭ is‬‭ a‬ DPhil-run,‬‭ historically‬‭ motivated‬‭ workshop‬‭ that‬‭ analyses‬‭ multiple‬‭ conceptions‬‭ of‬ sovereignty,‬‭ authority,‬‭ and‬‭ power‬‭ in‬‭ International‬‭ Relations‬‭ and‬‭ Politics.‬‭ The‬‭ workshop promotes‬‭ critical‬‭ engagement‬‭ with‬‭ how‬‭ sovereignty,‬‭ broadly‬‭ understood,‬‭ has‬‭ been‬ performed,‬‭ contested‬‭ and‬‭ explored‬‭ in‬‭ theoretical‬‭ treatises,‬‭ transnational‬‭ practices‬‭ and‬ activist‬‭ movements.‬‭ It‬‭ is‬‭ committed‬‭ to‬‭ fostering‬‭ dialogue‬‭ across‬‭ methodological‬‭ and‬ theoretical‬‭ frameworks,‬‭ and‬‭ welcomes graduate‬‭ students‬‭ and‬‭ faculty‬‭ from‬‭ across departments.
