He has also edited several special issues of journals: “Laclau's ''On Populist Reason''” (with Robert Hariman, for [[Cultural Studies (journal)|''Cultural Studies'']], 2012), “Cultures of Democracy” (for ''Public Culture'', 2007), “Commitments in a Post-Foundational World” (with Keith Topper, 2005), “Technologies of Public Persuasion” (with [[Elizabeth Povinelli]], 2003), and “New Imaginaries” (with Benjamin Lee, 2002). He is currently working on two edited volumes: ''Oxford Handbook on Rhetoric and Political Theory'' (with Keith Topper) and ''Distribution of the Sensible: Ranciere on Politics and Aesthetics'' (with Scott Durham).
