Abstracts should be formatted for anonymous review and submitted to the program committee chair, Dianna Taylor ([log in to unmask]) on or before December 31st, 2011.  Please indicate "Arendt Circle submission" in the subject heading of your email message.

Our first five independent meetings were outstanding, and we are looking forward to the same camaraderie and intense discussion of Arendt’s work at this year’s conference. Each speaker will have approximately 35 minutes for paper presentation and discussion combined —papers should be a maximum of 3000 words (15-20 minutes).
