Prof. Nomi Claire Lazar

Graduate School of Public and International Affairs | University of Ottawa

Nomi Claire Lazar‘s work focuses on a number of manifestations of the relationship between institutions and human agency, spanning the history of political thought, contemporary theory, and public policy. She is the author of “States of Emergency in Liberal Democracies” (Cambridge, 2009) and of scholarly writing in several edited volumes and journals, including ‘Polity’, ‘Political Theory’, ‘Politics and Society’, ‘Constellations’, and the ‘University of Toronto Law Journal’. She recently completed a new book called ‘How Time Frames: Temporal Rhetoric in the Politics of Legitimation’ (Yale UP, under contract), which looks at the important role of conceptions of the flow of time in political life.
