Add a talkDetails
In recent years, philosophy has focussed significant attention on aspects of the social world that structure and shape our everyday lives. Examining our experience from a socially embedded perspective, this work aims to not only explain common and troubling social phenomena but also contribute to practical ameliorative impact in the world. The topic of our conference is where this growing scholarship in practical philosophy intersects with institutional boundaries, where robust understandings of experiences and social phenomena can be challenged by different disciplinary perspectives and institutional viewpoints/priorities.
We invite novel contributions from early-career (within 3 years of PhD) and postgraduate philosophers, legal scholars, political theorists and others using philosophy to tackle social, political and ethical issues that arise at the intersection of institutions. We understand ‘institutions’ in broad terms, encompassing both formal (whether that be public or private) and informal institutions (such as social practices, customs, and shared language use). We welcome scholars bringing personal, practical and interdisciplinary perspectives to their philosophical work.
The deadline for abstract submissions is 22nd April 2025 (by midnight, BST). Please see the call for papers for further details.
A full conference schedule will be confirmed in early May 2025.
