About the Conference
The Amsterdam Graduate Conference in Political Theory is a joint enterprise of Ph.D. students by the University of Amsterdam (Departments of Philosophy and Political Science) and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (John Stuart Mill College and Philosophy Department).
The conference offers graduate students and postdocs the opportunity to present their research in a vibrant intellectual environment and receive feedback from dedicated discussants. Giving participants the opportunity to engage with faculty and students from the Universiteit van Amsterdam, the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam as well as the keynote speakers. Another explicit aim of the conference is to build a community and a network among those Ph.D. candidates and postdocs interested in interdisciplinary research. The conference therefore aims to create an intellectually stimulating environment in which Ph.D. candidates and postdocs can interact with their peers from around the world who share this interest.
The first edition of the conference took place on May 23–24, 2019 at the Universiteit van Amsterdam with Simon Caney (Warwick), and Lisa Herzog (TU München) as keynote speakers.
The second edition of the conference took place on May 28–29, 2020 (online) at the John Stuart Mill College, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with Laura Valentini (KCL), and Karuna Mantena (Columbia) as keynote speakers.
The third edition took place on December 6-7, 2021 at the Universiteit van Amsterdam with keynotes speakers Martin O'Neill (University of York) and Chiara Bottici (New School, New York).
We kindly thank the Dutch Research School for Philosophy (OZSW) and the John Stuart Mill College and Philosophy Department at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam for making this conference possible.
