The Priority in Practice workshops have run since 2003, with the aim of bringing political philosophers who are interested in applied topics in contact with each other and to interact with people in related fields who are interested in philosophical questions.

Details of previous sessions from 2003–2009 available here. More sessions have taken place since, at UCL and in Frankfurt, and elsewhere. The series was relaunched in Oxford in 2017 and 2018. 

This is the first time the workshop will be run online.
