Theme: Justice in Times of Austerity, Rupture, & Polarisation
Keynote speakers:
- Anna Stilz, Princeton University
- Victor Tadros, University of Warwick
Submissions: We welcome papers in any area of social and political philosophy, and particularly encourage papers offering normative or evaluative perspectives addressed to the contemporary political climate – papers concerned with justice in or in response to the context of countries reducing public expenditure and/or budget deficits, rising inequality, attitudes and parties veering towards political extremes, declining political civility, and both states and supra-state institutions facing schisms and separatist movements. This could include topics such as:
- Social and economic policy
- Disadvantage and inequality
- Political ruptures
- Democratic crisis and renewal
