Seminar 4
Studying Elites: Theory, Evidence, Pratice
Call for Papers
September 16 and 17 2010, Old Park Hotel, Buxton
The final seminar in this series will be organised by the University of Manchester and will beheld at the Old Hall Hotel in Buxton on 16/17 September 2010. A major purpose of this seminar is to give opportunities for younger scholars to present their work. We are looking, in particular, for contributions from doctoral students, post doctoral students and others who have recently completed work on elites. The purpose is to foster and publicise work by new generations of scholars on elites. We are therefore open to proposals from any disciplinary, or cross-disciplinary, settings. Please feel free to forward this to any of your own doctoral students or post-docs who may be interested in applying.
No formal written paper is required. The normal format of the seminars is an oral presentation of around 30 minutes.
In addition we will also be able to host the three speakers who were unable to present at the previous seminar:
Bastiaan van Apeldoorn, VU University Amsterdam, Department of Political Science: ‘European Corporate Elites’
Francois-Xavier Dudouet (IRISSO-CNRS, Paris Dauphine), Eric Gremont (OPESC, Paris) and Antoine Vion, Universite de la Mediterranee: ‘Core Business in the Eurozone’
Eleni Tsingou (Centre for the Study of Globalization and Regionalization, Warwick): ‘Power Elites: Club Model Politics and the Construction of Global Financial Governance’
There is no fee for attendance or participation. For registered students there are a number of bursaries that cover overnight accommodation and an allowance for travel.
