Welcome to The Political Theory Forum's (PTF) web page; an informative, and hopefully helpful, guide to political theory resources on the WWW. Our little corner in cyberspace is designed to help those interested in political theory in three key areas:

  • To provide students and academics with the opportunity to submit articles and essays concerning relevant issues in political theory
  • To provide a comprehensive listing of useful online resources
  • To inform participants of upcoming events sponsored by The PTF

We actively solicit the participation of all interested persons.
For more information, to submit an article or essay, to suggest additional resources,
and/or to be notified of upcoming events,
please e-mail us at your convenience.

The Political Theory Forum is a group composed primarily of university students at California State University, Sacramento interested in providing an atmosphere conducive to furthering intellectual discourse of relevant issues in political theory. Several times a year, we gather at a private home for an evening of food, drink, camaraderie and stimulating conversation. Typically, we invite a speaker or two to provide us with their thoughts on a theoretical topic followed by an open-ended discussion of the ideas presented. Events are always free, though we occasionally pass the hat so to enable us to rent chairs, provide eating utensils or pay for other miscellaneous incidentals.

Anyone with an interest in political theory is welcome to attend our events. We also invite those who are willing to make the effort to assist us in planning and/or hosting discussion. Voluntary, active participation is what makes these events so enjoyable.

No events scheduled during the months of October and November
