Michaele Ferguson CV Assistant Professor
Michaele Ferguson received her A.B. in Philosophy and Comparative Literature from Bryn Mawr College in 1994, and her Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard University in 2003. She is currently working on a book manuscript entitled Sharing Democracy. This book critically examines a dominant presumption in democratic theory that democracies can only work where citizens share something in common – whether that is a nationality, a set of political values, or the status of citizenship. In place of this presumption, Ferguson develops a nonfoundationalist account of how we share democracy with others. This project has been supported by a Visiting Research Fellowship at the University of Utah’s Tanner Humanities Center and a Junior Faculty Development Award from CU. Her interests include democratic theory, feminist theory, the role of truth in politics, and the philosophy of language. Her most recent publication explores all of these themes via an analysis of the use of feminist rhetoric to justify the U.S. foreign policy of building democracies in Afghanistan and Iraq: "W Stands for Women: Feminism and Security Rhetoric in the Post-9/11 Bush Administration," which appeared in Politics & Gender in 2005. She is also the co-editor with Lori Marso of Union College of a volume of essays further developing these themes entitled W Stands for Women: How the George W. Bush Presidency Has Shaped a New Politics of Gender (forthcoming from Duke University Press). Her work has appeared in Hypatia, Theory & Event, The European Legacy, and Philosophy in Review. Together with Professors Baird and Mapel, she is the recipient of a Ford Foundations Difficult Dialogues Initiative stipend and a grant from CU’s Institute for Civic and Ethical Engagement to fund the development of a new service-learning course focused on the cultivation of the dialogue skills necessary for effective citizenship in diverse societies. The course, “Diversity, Disagreement, and Democracy,” will be taught in Spring 2007. She also teaches courses in the history of political thought, democratic theory, feminist theory, and multiculturalism. J. Samuel Fitch Professor
Sam Fitch received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1973. His principal areas of interest are Latin American politics and public policy, particularly in the area of civil-military relations. He has just completed a long-term study of the role of the armed forces in the new Latin American democracies. The principal theoretical question in that work is accounting for the variations in current patterns of interaction between the armed forces, the state, and society, particularly changes relative to previous periods of civilian government. The policy question is what can the Latin American and U.S. governments do to consolidate and institutionalize effective democratic control in a structural setting conducive to highly politicized militaries. As a member of the Center for Public Policy Research, Professor Fitch has also conducted research on growth management, economic development, and social policies for Boulder and Boulder County. Professor Fitch's publications include The Armed Forces and Democracy in Latin America (1998), Armies and Politics in Latin America (co-editor, 1986), The Military Coup d'État as a Political Process (1977), and various book chapters and articles.

She is currently completing a book manuscript on the socio-contextual correlates of attitudes toward immigration in Western Europe.

Sven Steinmo (on leave) Professor
Born in Minnesota in 1953, Sven Steinmo's first language was, naturally enough, Norwegian. He has been trying to figure out Americans ever since. He has since lived and worked in a number of countries around the world including: Britain, Sweden, France, Israel, Germany, Japan and Norway. It hasn't helped much.
