Venue: Cardiff School of European Studies, 65-68 Park Place, Cardiff CF10 3AS
Date: 15-16 November 2007
Speakers include: Carole Pateman (Cardiff), Charles W.

The conference brings together Carole Pateman The Sexual Contract (1988) and Charles Mills, The Racial Contract (1997). The aim of this conference is to explore the implications of their major new publication, Contract and Domination for our understanding of and thinking about issues of race and gender in relation to the social contract tradition, and to intrude them more centrally into the debates surrounding contract theory, and to explore in what ways it may be modified, or indeed rendered obsolete. The conference is multidisciplinary and of interest to philosophers, political theorists, race/gender theorists, sociologists and policy practitioners.

Cost: £105, inc. accommodation at a boutique hotel, dinner, lunch & refreshments.
