The 2015 ECPR General Conference will be held in Montreal, Canada, between August 26 and August 29.

The Standing Group in Political Theory intends to convene a general political theory ‘section’, consisting of approximately 8 panels. The Standing Group is keen to include contributions from all areas of political theory, and from political theorists at all stages of their careers.

If you intend to propose a panel for the conference, please could you contact andrew.shorten@ul.ie before November 10, so that I can include a provisional list of panel titles/themes in the section description? At this point in time, all I need is a proposed theme/title and the name of a panel chair.

After the section is approved by the ECPR, there will be a further call for panels and papers (between December 2 and February 16). During this period, additional panels may be submitted to the section, and panel chairs will need to submit abstracts for the 4-5 papers included in their panels.
