2nd Annual PPEL in the Global South Conference

After a hugely successful pilot conference in Bengaluru, India in 2025 (see here), we are back with a second edition of the PPEL in the Global South. This in-person conference aims to bring together scholars working in Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and/or Law from around the globe, and in particular to facilitate interaction between scholars based in the Global South and those in the West and elsewhere.

We invite submissions on any topic that engages at least one of the focus disciplines (Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law) and that clearly addresses a normative issue. Submissions at the intersection of more than one of these fields are especially welcome. The conference language is English.

Please submit an anonymized abstract of no more than 500 words using this link.

Abstracts should be submitted in PDF form, single spaced, with no bibliography/references, the title at the of the page, and all on a single page. Please name the PDF file with the title of your paper – for example, “A Theory of Justice.PDF”. Double submissions will not be considered. Submission of co-authored work is allowed.

The deadline for submissions is March 1st, 2026 (anywhere on earth).
