Praise and Praiseworthiness Workshop, CFA

Praise and Praiseworthiness Workshop

Philosophers working on praise and praiseworthiness are invited to submit abstracts for a workshop on these topics, to be held in Copenhagen in the fall of 2026, specifically November 12-14. Abstracts on the nature of praise and the nature of praiseworthiness are especially welcome. (Submissions on other praise-related issues-- e.g. the morality of praise-- will be considered, however.)

The intention is to workshop papers for a praise-themed issue of Oxford Studies in Agency & Responsibility. Selected abstracts must be promised to this special themed issue of OSAR. They cannot be submitted elsewhere, and if accepted, they must be committed to OSAR.

While workshop dinners will be covered, funds unfortunately are not available to assist with travel or accommodation.

The timeline of important dates and deadlines is as follows:

-Abstract due (500-1000 words): April 30, 2026

-Notification concerning acceptance: May 30, 2026

-First draft due (to be circulated amongst workshop participants): October 21, 2026

-Workshop dates: November 12-14, 2026

-Revised draft due: sometime in February 2027

The papers will then be sent out by OUP for vetting and, once returned, contributors may make further changes. The praise-themed edition of Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility is expected to be in print 2028. 

Anonymized abstracts (of 500-1000 words) should be submitted to [email protected] by the end of April 30 (last time zone on Earth).
