Graduate programs: Marx and Political Theory

[ThePromise110]

I am hoping for a hand from the folks here on The Grad Cafe, so here we go.

Put simply, I am hoping to find doctoral programs in Political Theory that house at least one Marx scholar, as it were. I am hell-bent of studying Marx as the focus of my graduate studies and I am here hoping for help finding programs that can accomodate me that is better than what a Google search can provide.

For specifics, I don't care how well ranked the school is so long as the professor(s) in question have a history of good work in the field, nor do I much care for location so long as it is within the Continental United States or Canada, as what I am studying is much more than where I study it. Additionally, a strong Classics program would be delightful as I studied Classical Greek as an undergrad and I plan on continuing to do so. (Can't undersdtand Marx without understanding Aristotle.)

And yes, I am well aware of York. I am currently working on convincing my wife to move to Toronto. Any other programs or scholars that I should look into would be greatly appreciated. If you have any other clarifying questions I will be monitoring and replying to this thread.

Cheers!

Short answer: the New School and UMass Amherst. I'm finishing in the MA program at NS, but beware, they fund students rather poorly, so you usually need outside financial support. Our main people are Nancy Fraser, Banu Bargu and Andreas Kalyvas, and yes between that dept and philosophy, they do some classics stuff pretty well too. UMass I guess is a little better funding wise. Good luck.

I think there was a thread on this issue, maybe 8months ago, you may find more information there.
