In 95 Theses Anne Norton picks a fight with conventional political science. She asks conventional political science to use different measures (indeed, conceptualize what we do as something other than "measuring"), use different methods, and ask different questions. Some may read this as a threat to an entire way of life. I read it as an intriguing and exciting challenge.Katherine Cramer Walsh is Assistant Professor of Political Science at University of Wisconsin-Madison ([email protected]).
