Roundtable: 'Liberalism, Conservatism, and Reception History'

This panel brings together three leading scholars working in the field of 'reception history', generously conceived: Dr Claire Rydell Arcenas (University of Montana), Dr Glory Liu (Johns Hopkins), and Dr Emily Jones (University of Manchester). Following short papers reflecting on how writing the 'reception histories' of John Locke, Adam Smith, and Edmund Burke have informed how each panelist thinks about (writing) the histories of liberalism and conservatism more broadly, the session will open out to a broader roundtable discussion.
