The University of Chicago Philosophy Review is accepting undergraduate longform paper submissions on justice (≤6000 words).

CFP: Philosophy and Justice

Papers interrogating justice (or injustice) and related concepts: epistemic injustice, punishment, political society, etc. through the lens of any philosopher, field, and/or tradition are welcome. Submissions are due by September 20th to be published in our upcoming print journal edition. 

We welcome papers addressing questions including but not limited to:

Can we justify the relationship between punishment and justice? 

How does justice influence ethics? Vice versa?

What role does epistemology play in upholding justice or remedying injustice? 

Is there a relationship between God and justice? 

Who holds the authority to administer justice? 

Is justice only relevant in law, or is it something that exists beyond the courtroom? 

What does it mean for justice to exist at all? 

Papers should be between 2,500 and 6,000 words, contain rigorous philosophical analysis pertaining to the theme, and be formatted in Chicago Style. A 200 word abstract is also required for consideration.

Submissions must be anonymized, and will be subject to a blind peer review process. The Review will notify authors of its decisions by October 25th. Any questions should be sent via email [email protected]
