Interview with Joan Wallach Scott

Political Theology (PT): Professor Scott, we’re grateful for this opportunity for further conversation with you about your recent book On the Judgment of History (Columbia University Press, 2020). Perhaps we could start by situating On the Judgment of History within the context of your wider intellectual project. In the preface, you note that the book was shaped by your reflections on contemporary events like the violence in Charlottesville and the publication of the Mueller report. Therefore, while the book certainly sits in continuity with your previous work, it also seems that it moves in some new directions in response to our current political moment. How do you see On the Judgment of History fitting within the broader trajectory of your work as a scholar?
