The program of our workshop on "Political Philosophy and Child Poverty", to be held at the Centre for Ethics and Poverty Research, University of Salzburg, on August 24, 2016, is now online. It's going to be an interesting event. If you want to join us, please e-mail me. The program and the abstracts can be found below.

Mar Caberzas, Gunter Graf and I edited a Special Issue in Ethical Perspectives on childhood disadvantages and the capability approach. The Special Issue has now been published (unfortunately behind a pay wall if your institution does not have access) and can be accessed here. I copy below the table of contents and also make available for download the preprint of the introduction. I want to thank all the authors, the reviewers, and in particluar Jelle from Ethical Perspectives for handling the editorial and publication process.
