April 8-9, 2011
 
The Committee for the Graduate Conference in Political Theory at Princeton University welcomes papers concerning any period, methodological approach or topic in political theory, political philosophy, or the history of political thought.  Approximately eight papers will be accepted.
 


          
Each session, led by a discussant from Princeton, will be focused exclusively on one paper and will feature an extensive question and answer period with Princeton faculty and students.  Papers will be pre-circulated among conference participants.
 
The keynote address will be given by Professor Patchen Markell of the University of Chicago.
 
Submissions are due via email to polthry@princeton.edu by Monday, January 10th, 2011.  Please limit your paper submission to 7500 words and format it for blind review (the text should include your paper's title but be free of other personal and institutional information).  Only graduate students who will be enrolled in a Ph.D. program at the time of the conference may submit papers; papers from post-doctoral students will not be accepted.  Papers will be refereed by current graduate students in the Department of Politics at Princeton.  Acceptance notices will be sent in February. 
 
Assistance for invited participants' transportation, lodging, and meal expenses will be provided by the committee, which acknowledges the generous support of the Department of Politics, the University Center for Human Values, and the Graduate School of Princeton University.
