About Symposia
The Duck of Minerva occasionally runs symposia. These consist of a collection of linked pieces that engage with one another on a specific topic; they always involve at least some guest contributors.
Notable examples include a series of companion posts to the European Journal of International Relations special issue on “The End of IR Theory” (2011) and a discussion of Iain M. Banks’ The Hydrogen Sonata (2012).
You can scroll down to see a number of our symposia.
