 University of Ottawa, April 20-21, 2018.  

Proposals of 400-500 words must be prepared for anonymous review, with a separate cover letter (specifying paper title, name, institutional affiliation and contact info). Particularly welcome are papers that seek to explore Weil’s relationship with one or a few political ideologies (Marxism, socialism, republicanism, anarchism, conservatism, liberalism) or with a specific author in the history of ideas (Plato, La Boétie, Machiavelli, Rousseau, Marx, Nietzsche, Trotsky, etc).  But as always, proposals dealing with other topics will be considered.

  Proposals should be sent by Nov. 15^th 2017 to the conference organizers:

Sophie Bourgault (sbourgau@uottawa.ca) and Julie Daigle (jdaig103@uottawa.ca).  Proposals will be peer-reviewed.
