The Centre for Comparative Political Thought is holding it's 2017 Workshop on:
Conceptual Itineraries: The Roots and Routes of the Political
The workshop will be lexical in nature, each talk addressing a single political concept. Our lexical premise, however, is that the travelling of concepts (between spaces, between languages, between geo-political contexts) affects their meaning and uses.
Please join us in this collective endeavour to examine whether and how concepts travel.
