Abstract submissions for the 2024-2025 academic year are now CLOSED .

The Philosophy, Law & Politics Graduate Forum is a network of doctoral candidates, early career researchers, and established academics working at the intersection of legal, moral, and political philosophy from seven institutions in Southern England: the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, the University of Surrey, the London School of Economics & Political Science, King's College London, Queen Mary University of London, and University College London.
The Forum, established in 2021, seeks to showcase exceptional work by graduate students and bring them together with peers and academics working on similar topics in different departments and institutions. The papers selected for presentation receive comments from both a faculty member and a graduate student. Speakers themselves have the opportunity to request suitable commentators for their work. The meetings are held online, throughout the academic year, with papers circulated in advance of each meeting.
If you are a doctoral student at one of our seven member institutions and would like to present a paper at the Forum, please send an anonymised abstract of 500 words, plus bibliography (not included in the word count), to plpgraduateforum@gmail.com. Please title your email “PLP Forum submission,” and in the body of the email, please state your name, department, institution, and year of your programme. We give strong preference to submissions from students in the later years of their doctoral programme, and aim to put together a programme of papers on a diversity of topics of broad interest to our members, representing students from a range of our member institutions. Deadline for abstract submission is 5 April, 2024.
Selected speakers will be notified by the beginning of May. Sessions are scheduled throughout the academic year, and we will schedule the date of meetings with selected speakers at their convenience. Papers presented at the Forum should be (roughly) between 8,000 and 10,000 words. Full papers must be ready for circulation at least a week before the selected date of the presentation.
