THE MICHAEL OAKESHOTT ASSOCIATION

Religion, Politics and the Future of Liberal Education:
The Tenth Anniversary Meeting of the
Michael Oakeshott Association, 2001-2011


UNIVERSITY OF TULSA
OCTOBER 13-16, 2011


2011 marks the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Michael
Oakeshott Association, a group established to encourage the critical
study of one of the twentieth century’s most important political
philosophers. Previous conferences have taken place at the London
School of Economics, Colorado College, the University of Jena in
Germany, and Baylor University.

The University of Tulsa will host the Association’s meetings this
year. The focus of the conference will be Oakeshott’s understanding
of liberal education and the contemporary university. Also central
will be the possible relationships between university education,
politics and religion. Potential authors should strive both to engage
Oakeshott’s work on its own terms and to locate it in broader
discussions about education, religion and politics. Papers that
compare Oakeshott to other relevant thinkers are encouraged.

Abstracts, no more than 500 words, should be sent by April 15, 2011 to
Elizabe...@baylor.edu. Abstracts should also include: title of
paper, full name(s), affiliation, current position, and an email
address.
