Leah Bradshaw

Leah Bradshaw is Professor of Political Theory. She has spent her entire teaching career at Brock University. She wrote her doctoral thesis on the work of Hannah Arendt, and subsequently published a book on Hannah Arendt (Acting and Thinking: The Political Thought of Hannah Arendt, University of Toronto Press, 1989) which won a CHOICE Award in the US for outstanding scholarly publication. Arendt continues to be an inspiration for her work, although research and publications over her career have expanded to include comparative accounts of themes such as empire and tyranny in classical and modern political theory, and critical reflections on citizenship, cosmopolitanism and political friendship. Current project is a book on the legacy of Canadian political philosopher George Grant.
