Paper proposals are invited for the 7th Cambridge Graduate Conference in Political Thought and Intellectual History, themed ‘Frontiers in Political Thought: Non-Western, International and Global’. The keynote address will be given by Professor David Armitage of Harvard University. We invite papers on the history of political ideas in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Arabic-speaking world. Bringing together researchers working on the histories of different regions, the conference hopes to foster contrasts and comparisons between political theories developed in specific regional historical contexts. In addition, the conference welcomes papers from those working on Western political thought, whether relating to the non-Western world or international thought. Papers are welcome on all periods. The University of Cambridge has a long-standing reputation for the study of the history of political thought. Participants will be invited to present their work as part of themed panels which will include discussants from members of various Cambridge University area-study centres and faculties. Accommodation will be provided for speakers and travel costs will be subsidised. Please send an abstract of max. 500 words and an academic CV to ptihconf@hermes.cam.ac.uk. The deadline for submissions is 17 January 2014. Please visit our website for further information and to register your attendance.
