Brave New World 2010
Brave New World 2010, the Fifteenth Annual Postgraduate Conference organised under the auspices of the Manchester Centre for Political Theory (MANCEPT) and supported by the Mind Association, the Analysis Trust and the Aristotelian Society, will take place on Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th June 2010 at the University of Manchester.
We are pleased to announce that our guest speakers this year are:
- Roger Crisp (University of Oxford)

The Brave New World conference series is now established as a leading international forum dedicated exclusively to the discussion of postgraduate research in political theory. The conference offers a great opportunity for postgraduates from many different countries and universities to share experiences, concerns and research interests, to exchange stimulating ideas and to make new friends - all in a financially accessible and highly informal setting. Participants will also have the chance to meet and talk about their work with eminent academics, including members of faculty from the University of Manchester and guest speakers, who will deliver keynote addresses at the event.
Guest speakers in previous years have included Brian Barry, Simon Caney, Ian Carter, G.A. Cohen, Cecile Fabre, Gerald Gaus, Peter Jones, Chandran Kukathas, Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen, Catriona McKinnon, Susan Mendus, David Miller, John O’Neill, Onora O'Neill, Michael Otsuka, Christopher Norris, Bhikhu Parekh, Carole Pateman, Anne Philips, Thomas Pogge, Henry Shue, Quentin Skinner, Adam Swift, Philippe Van Parijs, Andrew Williams, and Jonathan Wolff.
