Abstract

As former graduate students of Kirstie McClure (1951–2023), we offer these remembrances of our time with her at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Our hope is to put Kirstie’s contributions to historically-inflected political theory into the fuller context of how she worked as a teacher, mentor, editor, and reader. For all of us, and for many years, Kirstie was among our most significant interlocutors. This kind of scholar, who is ever in conversation, will never be appreciated enough.
