I'm an undergraduate at HYP, and am hoping/planning to apply to graduate programs in Political Theory and related fields in the near future. I was wondering what people's understanding was of Stanford's PT field? I know that it usually isn't ranked in the top 10 of PT departments (using the term ranking to refer to multiple lists here), and over the last three years it doesn't seem that they've placed any theorists. However, it is an amazingly strong program overall, and seemingly headed by Joshua Cohen, who does really high impact work. The down-side is, of course, that their department doesn't appear to run that deep after Cohen, especially in contemporary theory. Now, one might be able to draw on their philosophy department, but who knows. What are people's thoughts?
