CFP: IV Meetings on Ethics and Political Philosophy

After three successful meetings on previous years, we now welcome paper proposals for the fourth Meetings on Ethics and Political Philosophy, which will be held at University of Minho, Braga (Portugal), on May 20-21 2013.

We invite contributions in both moral philosophy and normative political theory. The Meetings provide an excellent opportunity to present both advanced and exploratory work in front of an open and welcoming audience. The call is open to graduate students, junior researchers and senior scholars.

This year, Professor Peter Vallentyne (Klyne Chair, University of Missouri, Columbia), will be our keynote speaker. He will offer a lecture on ethics and a lecture on political philosophy. 

If you are interested in presenting a paper on a topic of your choice, please send your contact and affiliation, an abstract (300 to 500 words) and 5 key words, by January 30th to Cátia Faria ([email protected]) and Maria Joāo Cabrita ([email protected]). Abstracts will be submitted to peer review.

Deadline for submissions: 30th January 2013

Deadline for notification of acceptance: 20 th February 2013.


This event is organized by the Political Theory Group of CEHUM, University of Minho (Braga).
