15 April 2009 - EUROPEAN & AUSTRALIAN LIBERALISMS:CRITICAL & COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES

Workshop for ANU Staff and Students
National Europe Centre, ANU, 1 Liversidge Street, Canberra.

The research workshop provides a critical but informal setting to discuss and compare the way liberalism has been utilized within both Europe and Australia over the last century. The baseline assumption is that there is real scholarly worth to be gained from such a comparative examination. The objective of the workshop is thus to provide a critical forum for the analysis and comparison of liberal practices, values, concepts and policies across distinct cultural and political traditions.

Speakers will include: Marian Sawer, John Uhr, David West, Jeremy Shearmur, Tim Rowse, Norman Abjorensen, Pablo Jiménez, Paul Pickering, Simon Bronitt, Andrew Vincent.
Organising Committee: Andrew Vincent, Simon Bronitt
