Day 1 concludes with a brilliant keynote from Dr Faridah Zaman (Oxford)on 'Muslim Excess: Political Thought Between States, Empires, and the Global’ @faridahzaman.bsky.social

Our final panel of the day considered empire and enlightenment. We heard from Oksana Volovodiuk (CEU) on instituting the Grand Duchy of Warsaw in Napoleonic Europe and from Cameron Bowman (Oxford), on how British depictions of African Kingship attempted to justify slavery from 1670-1740.

We've moved to the post-liberal and the far right for our next panel of the day. Excellent papers from Mintae Hwang (Bristol), Dane Thomas (Berkeley) and Thomas Maidment (Cambridge) on post-liberal American ideas, the French new right and the English rural revivalists.

Our next panel is architecture and the state with papers from Thomas Griffiths (KCL), Bene Colenbrander (EUI) and Eli Frankel (Chicago).

Our first panel of the day covering Laski, Schmitt and Rousseau with Thomas Graul (Yale) and Luyao Li (Peking/Cambridge)

And we're off! Opening remarks from @giuseppegrieco.bsky.social on Ferdinandea, empire, the space of the sea and political imagination.
