Emily A. Davis

Winner, 2022 AWM Paper Prize

Emily is a PhD candidate in Political Theory at the University of Texas at Austin. Her dissertation examines the ambiguous concept of charismatic leadership through works by thinkers such as Weber, Xenophon, and Plutarch. After graduation, she hopes to continue exploring questions of justice, leadership, and political ambition as seen in both ancient and modern texts—and to continue considering how the teachings of these texts illuminate the political problems we face today.
