Calls for Papers for two Workshops on Poverty at the U of Salzburg (May and August 2016)

I (co)organize two workshops on (political) philosophy and poverty next year at the Centre for Ethics and Poverty Research, University of Salzburg, and in collaboration with the Austrian chapter of Academics Stand Against Poverty (ASAP). Please spread the word.


The first workshop with Monique Deveaux (U of Guelph) will take place on May 12 and 13, 2016. There is no specfic theme and all papers on philosophy and poverty are welcome but preference will be given to papers that are related to the topic of the paper of Monique Deveaux: “Global Justice from Below?: The Value of Social Movement Approaches to Poverty Reduction”. The detailed call for papers and more information on that workshop can be found in that PDF or here: www.philosophypoverty.blogspot.com


The second workshop on August 24, 2016, will focus on political philosophy and child poverty with invited talks by Colin Macleod (U of Victoria) and Serena Olsaretti (ICREA – Universitat Pompeu Fabra). The detailed call for papers and more information on that workshop are in that PDF or here.


Deadline for submissions is for both workshops January 31, 2016. For inquiries please contact Gottfried Schweiger at gottfried.schweiger@sbg.ac.at
