MANCEPT Workshops

The MANCEPT Workshops are an annual conference in political theory, organised under the auspices of the Manchester Centre for Political Theory. The conference offers academics an opportunity to come together in a series of workshops to develop specialised work and engage in lively philosophical discussion. Attracting scholars throughout the world, the conference is now established as a leading international forum dedicated to the development of research in all subfields of political theory.

This year’s conference will be held on Wednesday 3rd September to Friday 5th September 2025.

Applications for workshop convenors, or to attend the workshops, are now closed.

Taking on board the feedback we have received in previous years, we have decided to run this year’s conference fully in-person, with no hybrid or online-only component. This decision has been made with a view to facilitating engaging and lively discussion, with less time taken up with troubleshooting tech issues.
