Michael Joseph Shapiro (born February 16, 1940)[1] is an American educator, theorist, and writer. He is a Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.[2] His work is often described as "postdisciplinary," drawing from such diverse fields as political philosophy, critical theory, cultural studies, film theory, international relations theory, literary theory, African American studies, comparative politics, geography, sociology, urban planning, economics, psychoanalysis, crime fiction, genre studies, new musicology, aesthetics and indigenous politics.[3]
As the political theorist William E. Connolly has described him: "no one writing in English today has as wide a command over diverse references or develops more profound insights from them".[4]
