CFP: Early Career Workshop

Call for Papers:

Early Career Workshop

13-14 May 2026, Online

Deadline for submissions: 1st February 2026

The Stockholm Centre for the Ethics of War and Peace is pleased to announce its Early Career Workshop. We invite submissions from current and recent graduate students (within two years of receiving their PhD). Papers should address issues in moral, legal, or political philosophy connected to the ethics of war and peace, broadly construed. This includes, for example, papers on moral responsibility, authority, partiality, scarcity of resources, collective action, punishment, and self-defence, as well as more traditional topics in the ethics of war and peace. Sessions will run from roughly 15.00-18.30 BST each day.

All sessions will be pre-read. Each author will be allocated a faculty respondent who will provide written comments on the paper and serve as a commentator at the workshop. In order to find the most suitable respondents, faculty will be invited after papers have been selected. Past respondents have included Helen Beebee, Yitzak Benbaji, Garret Cullity, Christopher Finlay, Helen Frowe, Adil Ahmad Haque, Kimberly Kessler Ferzan, Holly Lawford-Smith, Seth Lazar, Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen, Kieran Oberman, Massimo Renzo, David Rodin, Adam Slavny and Laura Valentini.

Papers should be no longer than 8000 words, including notes, and prepared for blind review. Papers should not have been accepted for publication or given revise and resubmit verdicts at the time of submission. Submissions from graduate students should include a letter from their department confirming their year of study. Submissions from early career researchers should include confirmation that they are within two years of receiving their PhD (e.g., a letter from an examiner or supervisor, or a copy of their PhD certificate). Submissions and enquiries should be sent to [email protected] (subject line: “SUBMISSION Graduate Workshop”).
