Matthew Landauer is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, based in Pick Hall 413.

He examines questions of accountability, rhetoric, and normative political structures in historical and contemporary contexts.
Landauer’s work bridges ancient and modern political theory, with a particular emphasis on how ancient Greek practices inform contemporary democratic challenges. His book *Dangerous Counsel: Accountability and Advice in Ancient Greece* (2019) explores advisory roles and political responsibility in Athenian democracy. His recent scholarship includes analyses of Plato’s constitutional ideas, democratic agenda-setting mechanisms, and modern conspiracism’s threats to democratic legitimacy.
His research interests span classical political philosophy, democratic accountability, and the intersection of rhetoric with political power. While no awards or grants are explicitly listed, his prolific publication record reflects sustained engagement with foundational questions in political theory.
