10th Montreal Social Justice Theory Workshop @ Concordia University
All day
Annual Intensive Research Workshop
The aim of the Social Justice Theory Workshop is to enable sustained exploration in the theory of social justice. It addresses topics such as the articulation of ideals and principles of economic, political, gender, race, environmental, and cultural justice; the critique of inequality, domination, exploitation, and alienation; and the illumination of political institutions, practices and processes of transformation that might foster progressive change.
Workshop papers will be pre-circulated, and participation implies a commitment to reading the papers in advance.
This workshop is organized by Pablo Gilabert and Peter Dietsch, in association with the Social Justice Centre (Université Concordia), the Centre de recherche en éthique (Université de Montréal) and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Victoria.
