Finally, a new volume on political philosophy and children that I co-edited is out with Springer. It is loosley based on a workshop I co-convened in Manchester. To be honest, my co-editors did most of the work for this book to happen. As the title suggests the chapters in this book are engaged with the moral, legal and political status of children and childhood, most of them by examining a concrete problem or question in education or politics. This is the table of contents: Part I The Ethics of Childhood: Autonomy, Well-Being and Paternalism
Part II Justice for Children
Part III The Politics of Childhood
Here is the link to Springer: http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319273877 The program of the 2016 Workshop in Philosophy and Poverty, which will take place at my home institution on May 12 and 13, 2016 is now online (I am mainly responsible for the organization of this event). It looks like it's going to be a wonderful workshop with very interesting people, including myself :-) Registration is free and possible until the End of March, places are limited due to space: www.philosophypoverty.blogspot.com |
