BIPPA Regional Conference for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland

The BIPPA is delighted to announce the Regional Conference for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, taking place at Queen’s University Belfast on the 17th of September. This conference was made possible with financial support from Queen’s University Belfast School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy and Politics (HAPP). The theme of the conference is moral and political philosophy. The call for submissions is now closed.

We are equally glad to confirm that Dr Vittorio Bufacchi, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at University College Cork, will deliver a keynote address at our conference. Dr Bufacchi specialises in political philosophy, with a special interest on questions of social injustice, human rights and political violence. He has recently written a book on the economic and political philosophy behind the Covid-19 pandemic. Besides the keynote address, there will be eight talks by graduate students from universities in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
