Charles T. Lee is a lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Southern California. He received his Ph.D. in Political Science from USC and works at the intersection of political theory and cultural studies. His dissertation, Deviant Cosmopolitanism: Transgressive Globalization and Traveling Citizenship, looks at how several groups of “illegitimate” travelers such as undocumented domestic and sweatshop workers, global sex workers, transsexuals, and suicide-bombing terrorists may be reconceived as global traveling agents who can actually help us rethink visions of citizenship and cosmopolitanism.

Jack Reynolds is Lecturer at the University of Tasmania, Australia,and author of Merleau-Ponty and Derrida: Intertwining Embodiment and Alterity (Ohio Uni Press), and Understanding Existentialism (Acumen). He is also the co-editor of Understanding Derrida (Continuum). His current research project focuses upon juxtaposing the work of contemporary analytic and continental philosophers on the themes of time and politics. The intention behind this rapprochement is to develop a political philosophy that retains the strengths of both without succumbing to their problems (crudely, the ‘intuitionism’ or atemporality of much analytic political philosophy, and the more prophetic ‘future politics’ of thinkers like Derrida and Deleuze).
