James Campbell Scott (December 2, 1936 – July 19, 2024) was an American political scientist and anthropologist specializing in comparative politics. He was a comparative scholar of agrarian and non-state societies, subaltern politics, anarchism, and high modernism. His primary research centered on peasants of Southeast Asia and their strategies of resistance to various forms of domination.[1] The New York Times described his research as "highly influential and idiosyncratic".[2]
Scott received his bachelor's degree from Williams College and his MA and PhD in political science from Yale. He taught at the University of Wisconsin–Madison until 1976 and then at Yale, where he was Sterling Professor of Political Science. Since 1991 he directed Yale's Program in Agrarian Studies.[3] He lived in Durham, Connecticut.[1][4]
