BRAVE NEW WORLD 2003
CALL FOR PAPERS
BNW2003, the seventh annual postgraduate conference organised under the auspices of the Manchester Centre for Political Thought (MANCEPT), will take place on Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 June 2003. The plenary speakers are Thomas Pogge (Columbia University) and Jonathan Wolff (University College London).
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 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, Catriona McKinnon, John O’Neill and Brian Barry.
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 30 March 2003 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.
