from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Her main research interests are political theory , democracy theory , feminism and legal theory . She is considered a theoretician of an agonistic model of democracy.

academic career

Honig studied political science ( Bachelor ) at Concordia University in Montreal between 1977 and 1980 . She then completed her Masters in 1986 at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and received her PhD in 1989 with Richard Flathman and William E. Connolly with the thesis Virtue and Virtuosity: Politics in a Post-Kantian World . She then received an assistant and later an associate professorship in political theory at Harvard University , where she taught until 1997 because the president of the university did not offer her a renewal option. This fact sparked a controversy in which well-known Harvard professors were involved, since the then President Neil L. Rudenstine had promised to employ numerous female researchers as professors for an unlimited period; he didn't keep his word. Honig then moved to Northwestern University in Evanston , where she held a professorship in political science, until she accepted an appointment as Nancy Duke Lewis professor of modern cultural studies, media and political science at Brown University in 2013.

Research and work

Honey is one of the leading thinkers of a democratic theory of agonism alongside William E. Connolly, James Tully and Chantal Mouffe . Her main research interests can be found in the field of tension between political philosophy and the history of ideas, feminist theory , democracy and legal theory. She also conducts research in the areas of gender and cultural studies as well as the politics of film and literature.
