Call for Papers

This Conference will bring together all the individuals and groups interested in all aspects of Mill's thought and writings. It is expected to be the largest gathering of its kind ever to take place. Besides lectures and papers on all aspects of Mill's philosophy and thought more generally, the Conference aspires to offer assessments of Mill's activities and strategies as a public figure, a public intellectual engaged in a number of political and intellectual battles. Moreover, Mill's impact on other thinkers, from his lifetime to today, will be of great interest to the Conference, as will be the reception of his writings and ideas in different countries and continents, both during his lifetime and since. Particular attention will also be paid to his place in overall British intellectual history.

Papers and panels on any aspect of Mill's thought, activism and impact on the world from his lifetime to today are invited from practitioners of any discipline. Also, papers and panels related to Mill's thought and work only indirectly (e.g. focusing on thinkers or ideas related to him-and in particular James Mill, Jeremy Bentham, and others in the utilitarian tradition) will be welcomed.
