Podcast No. 13 - A Conversation with Nicholas Onuf

The thirteenth Duck of Minerva podcast features Nicholas Onuf. Nick is one of the "founding parents" of contemporary constructivism. His book, World of Our Making: Rules and Rule in Social Theory and International Relation -- which has been reissued by Routledge -- introduced the term to describe an approach to the study of world politics. The podcast is wide-ranging -- part of oral history, part interview, part discussion -- such that I've had difficulty figuring out how to insert chapters. If you're listening via m4a, you'll see that the podcast has only a few chapter titles. "Enter Constructivism," for example, contains not only information about World of Our Making but also about the state of the field in the 1980s, the rise of liberal institutionalism, and so on.When not on hiatus, Duck of Minerva Podcasts generally come out at the end of each week. They appear in our normal RSS feed, but you can subscribe to the podcasts directly via http://www.whiteoliphaunt.com/duckofminerva/podcast/. To subscribe via iTunes go to “Advanced” and then choose “Subscribe to Podcast” and paste the feed URL). Individual episodes may be downloaded from the Podcasts tab.For now, I’m uploading files in both m4a and mp3 format (although this feed only includes the m4a version). If you can’t get the former to play, try the mp3 version. Note that people seem to be having real trouble streaming the audio files from the podcasts tab, so you might try downloading them.Note: that this is now a legacy podcast distribution channel. The new feed is: http://www.whiteoliphaunt.com/duckofminerva/podcast/. I will continue to post Duck of Minerva podcasts here for the time being, but I suggest switching over the new feed.
