The Rousseau Lecture and Conference is open to all scholars interested in the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
The event will be delivered in English. You will therefore be expected to have a good command of written and spoken English.
The event will be held at ECPR's home, Harbour House, a charming Grade II listed building dating back to the 1700s. Once known as the old Customs House, the building sits on the back of Hythe Quay, close to Colchester's town centre and the University of Essex campus.
