SUMMARY:Workshop for Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:13th Annual Workshop\nThe thirteenth annual Workshop for Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy will take place at Westward Look in Tucson\, Arizona from October 23-25\, 2025. A limited amount of hardship funds will be eligible to cover some of the expenses for scholars who are invited to present at the workshop and do not have funding from their home institutions. \nOxford Studies in Political Philosophy\nSince its revival in the 1970s political philosophy has been a vibrant field in philosophy\, one that intersects with jurisprudence\, normative economics\, political theory in political science departments\, and just war theory. Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy aims to publish some of the best contemporary work in political philosophy and these closely related subfields. \nEach year there is a workshop associated with a corresponding volume in Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy. The location of the workshop varies from year to year. \nLearn more about the upcoming workshop \nSupport for this workshop is provided by the Center for the Philosophy of Freedom.
