Abstract

This panel turns the lens inward, asking which problems of democratic practice the study of democracies is facing and what to do about them. Contributors are invited to reflect on what it means to democratize political science: How can we make knowledge production more inclusive across disciplines, regions, and methodologies? What kinds of collaborative infrastructures or reflexive methods could sustain a truly democratic science of democracy?
