The formal study of the relationship between the state and the market has
long drawn the attention of scholars for intellectual and political
reasons. How do government institutions shape labor power? How are markets
themselves constructed and contested through political action? How do these
dynamics then fold back upon government? How *should* they? What frameworks
do communities use to imagine alternatives? What’s garnered less attention
is the central role racial politics plays in these dynamics. These
questions take on heightened importance in the wake of the beginning of the
second Trump presidency. We think this presents an opportunity.

Since 2022 as part of our broad attempt to remake the discipline by
integrating the study of race and racism, the *Johns Hopkins University
Department of Political Science* has held a summer school designed to bring
together graduate students as well as junior and senior scholars. The
summer school has three broad purposes–to teach graduate students the
constitutive role race and racism plays in the development of the
discipline, to develop a broad cross-institutional network of scholars
committed to reimagining the discipline, and to give students an
opportunity to present their work.

Our previous summer schools have taken the subfield structure of American
Political Science as the base, with workshops devoted to American Politics,
International Relations, Political Theory, and Comparative Politics
respectively.* The 2025 Summer School will take a different approach, and
will focus on one subject: political economy.* We choose political economy
both because of its heightened importance intellectually and politically,
and because we feel that the study of race and racism can shed light on
pressing questions as well as develop new lines of inquiry that can both
expand what we know and aid our broad commitment to improve the capacity of
populations to self-govern.

To that end, we invite you to participate. The school will be held at Johns
Hopkins University from June 2-June 6. Tuition covered by Hopkins.
Attendees responsible for travel. Housing funds available. Please forward
to all networks, and refer questions to either Lester Spence (
unbowed at gmail.com) or T Smith (lsmit286 at jhu.edu).

registration until capacity has been reached. A waitlist will be in effect
until May 1, 2025.

Tuition covered by Hopkins. Attendees responsible for travel and lodging.
