CFP: Northwestern University Society for the Theory of Ethics and Politics (NUSTEP) Annual Conference

The Sixteenth Annual Conference of the Northwestern University Society for the Theory of Ethics and Politics (NUSTEP) will take place May 15–17, 2025.

We welcome submissions from faculty and graduate students, as some sessions will be reserved for student presentations. Please submit an essay of approximately 4,000 words. Essay topics in all areas of ethics and political philosophy will be considered, although some priority will be given to essays that take up themes from the work of the keynote speakers, Ryan Preston-Roedder and Andrea Westlund, including blame and forgiveness, responsibility, personal autonomy, deference and authority, trust and faith, love, meaning in life, and grief and other emotions.

Essays should be prepared for blind review in word, rtf, or pdf format. Graduate submissions should be sent by e-mail to [email protected]; faculty submissions should be sent by e-mail to [email protected].

The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2025. Notices of acceptance will be sent by March 17, 2025.
