Call for Papers: IV Meetings on Ethics and Political Philosophy, University of Minho (Braga), May 20-21 2013

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 (Florence G. Kline Chair of Philosophy, University of Missouri, Columbia), will be our keynote speaker. He will offer a lecture on Animals and Equality and a lecture on Left-libertarianism.

Abstracts will be submitted to peer review.

Deadline for submissions: 30th January 2013

Deadline for notification of acceptance: 20 th February 2013.
