Dear FEAST,

The Department of Philosophy and the Don Shula Program in Philosophy at John Carroll University in Cleveland, OH will be hosting the fifth independent conference for the Hannah Arendt Circle, April 8-10, 2011.

As in past years, we invite individual submissions for papers on any aspect of Arendt's work, including critiques and applications of her thinking.  

This year's conference will also include a panel on Arendt and pedagogy for which we are seeking individual paper submissions.

Please send an abstract of the paper (750 word limit) as an email (“.doc”) attachment. Abstracts should be formatted for anonymous review and submitted to the program committee chair, Stephen Bloch-Schulman ([log in to unmask]) on or before Saturday, December 18th, 2010.  Please indicate "Arendt Circle submission" in the subject heading of your email message.  

Program decisions will be announced by January 10th, 2011. 

Program Committee:
Stephen Bloch-Schulman, Elon University
Dianna Taylor, John Carroll University
Sarah Louise MacMillen, Duquesne University

Our first four 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).

Program and information concerning travel and accommodation will be available no later than January 30, 2011 at:
