After the conference, there will be an informal dinner in a local restaurant for those who wish to stay on. Information about local accommodation is available at http://www.stirling.co.uk/accommodation/guesthouse.htm.
Postgraduate Paper Competition:
One fully-funded place is reserved for the presenter of a postgraduate paper. This is a reminder (see earlier emails) that postgraduates who wish to enter the competition should submit a 500 word abstract by Monday 12 January to Rowan.Cruft@stir.ac.uk and Andrea.Baumeister@stir.ac.uk .
The NPTA draws together political theorists from a wide range of academic departments (Politics, Philosophy, International Relations, Law, Economics) in the North of the UK. The annual one-day conference provides a forum for academic staff and postgraduate students to meet in an informal setting with speakers invited locally and from outside the region.
Many thanks for assistance from the Scots Philosophical Club and the Departments of Philosophy and Politics at the University of Stirling.
