pleased to announce its second graduate organized conference:

Principles of Association in British History
Friday, April 8, 2005 
8:30am - 6:00pm
Classics Building (1010 E. 59th Street), Rm. 10

 Principles of Association in British History will explore the links,
contrasts, and similarities between the principles that are thought to guide
human association in different areas of social life. Several renowned
scholars will head the discussion, among them Mary Lyndon Shanley (Vassar),
Samuel Fleischacker (UIC), and Avigail Eisenberg (British Columbia). 

An inter-disciplinary event, of interest to students and scholars of
Political Science, Philosophy, History, English, Economics, Sociology,
Religious Studies, and related fields, the conference will encourage
discussions in a broad scholarly context, drawing connections between

manifested, defended, and contested throughout British history, and will be
organized in four panels:
