CFP: 2015 Princeton Graduate Conference in Political Theory

The Princeton University Graduate Conference in Political Theory will be held from April 10-11, 2015.

The Conference offers graduate students a unique opportunity to present and receive feedback on works in progress. Each session focuses exclusively on one paper. After receiving feedback from a Princeton graduate student discussant, each author engages in an extensive question and answer period with Princeton faculty, students, and guests.

We are delighted to announce that Professor Helene Landemore of Yale University will deliver the 2015 keynote address.
