Dear All,
The third annual Graduate Conference in Political Theory at the
University of Warwick will take place on Saturday 19th May 2001.
The schedule has now been finalised, and is printed below.
Graduate students have found the event very useful in the past, and
this year we have a more varied programme than ever, with twice
as many graduate papers than last year.
I would be very grateful if you would bring this event to the attention
of any graduate students who might be interested in attending.
Attendance is free, and a place should be reserved by contacting

Many thanks,
Chris Woodard
