PhD Candidate Jessie Croteau was awarded the 2024 WPSA William Connolly Award for her paper titled, “Morbid Materialism: A Lucretian Materiality, Potentiality, and Politics of Decline.” The award recognizes “the best political theory paper in contemporary democratic thought, whether recognizing daring and innovative work by a young scholar or a bold new line of inquiry by an established scholar.” Congratulations, Jessie!
