November 24\, 2012\, will mark the tenth anniversary of John Rawls passing \;away. The Global Justice Program at Yale University will mark the occasion \;with a full-day meeting on November 30 to which friends\, admirers and \;critics of Rawls are cordially invited. We chose this date because November \;24 is too close to Thanksgiving.
Funding
We are unfortunately not able to fully cover costs but will make an effort \;for all those who register by November 1 to match student guests with local \;students and to get discounts at a local hotel for the other guests. We will \;provide food and good cheer and assemble an outstanding critical audience \;for six papers to be presented. Selected presenters will get priority \;placement with local students and\, if resource-constrained\, up to $400 in \;travel funds. In notifying winners in late October (see below)\, we ask them \;to tell us asap whether they will need support and\, if so\, how much.
To guarantee that the reserved room will be appropriate for this event\, we \;kindly ask all participants to register. Please\, use \;RawlsFestYale@gmail.com \;for all correspondence (inquiries\, paper submissions\, registration).

Daniele Botti\, Rachel Payne\, Daniel Putnam\, Matthew Lindauer\, Thomas Pogge
