Sixth Graduate Conference at Manchester: Call for papers. TC
BRAVE NEW WORLD 2001
Sixth Manchester Postgraduate Conference in Political Theory
CALL FOR PAPERS
BNW2001, the sixth annual postgraduate conference organised under the
auspices of the Manchester Centre for Political Thought (MANCEPT), will
take place on Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 June 2001.
The Brave New World conference series has emerged as the leading
international forum exclusively dedicated to the discussion of
postgraduate research in political theory. This conference offers a
great opportunity for postgraduates from many different countries and
universities to share experiences, concerns and research interests, to
exchange stimulating ideas and to make new friends - all in a
financially accessible and highly informal setting. Moreover
participants will have the chance to meet and talk with eminent
academics (names to be announced) who will deliver keynote addresses at
the event. Plenary speakers in previous years have included G.A. Cohen,
Quentin Skinner, Onora O'Neill, Carole Pateman, Christopher Norris, Anne
Philips, Bhikhu Parekh, Adam Swift David Miller and Catriona McKinnon.
This year the conference is also open to undergraduate students
interested in undertaking postgraduate work in political theory. Brave
New World 2001 will provide them with an opportunity to meet senior
students already engaged in research and to gain an insight into the
academic interests of the Manchester Graduate School.
The main part of the conference will be devoted to postgraduate
speakers. Special sessions will be reserved for undergraduate students
willing to present papers.
Papers are invited from any area and any school within political
thought. Panels include:
Ethics and Politics
European Philosophy and Politics
Theories of Rights
Gender and Politics
History of Political Thought
Theory of International Relations
Theory of Democracy
Political Theory and Jurisprudence
If you would like to present a paper, please send us a 300 word abstract
by no later than 3 March 2001 to the conference address. If you would
like to chair a panel please send a message to the same address,
including your personal details and indicating which panel you are
interested in chairing.
Please note that the conference is self-financed and participants are
responsible for seeking their own funding. However, some financial
assistance may be provided for a limited number of paper-givers on the
basis of both need and merit. No separate application is necessary but
the completed paper would have to be sent in advance so that the
organisers can make an evaluation.
