On the 15th of February we had an opportunity to welcome Dr. Michael Sonenscher from the King’s College of the University of Cambridge. The purpose of his visit was primarily to give feedback on the advances made in the project on the agrarian republics and to advise on its future trajectory. We also used this opportunity to discuss the International Conference “Rousseau, Poland and Europe: Federalism – Sovereignty – Prosperity – Patriotism at which both Dr. Sonenscher and three members of the research team presented their work.
