The Political, Moral, and Legal Philosophy Research Group (POLEMO) at Central European University cordially invites abstract submissions for its annual conference, the 5th POLEMO Symposium on 16-17 May 2024 in Vienna, Austria. The Symposium provides a professional, stimulating, and international environment for Ph.D. students and early career researchers in political theory to discuss their works in progress, establish informal networks, and initiate future collaborative research. We are happy to announce that our keynote speakers for this year will be:
