Professor Digeser's work has included studies of the concept of power, identity, forgiveness, the place of ethics in international relations, and the relationship between theory and practice.

Digeser has authored Our Politics Our Selves (Princeton University Press, 1995) and Political Forgiveness (Cornell University Press, 2001). The latter book considers the meaning of forgiveness in politics and its relationship to other ideas in political philosophy. Digeser is currently working on the relationship between friendship and politics.

Note: Professor Digeser will be on sabbatical for the academic year 2008-2009 and will not be in residence.
