Organisers: Jonathan Wolff and Zofia Stemplowska

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 are here. Some more have taken place since then, at UCL and in Frankfurt. The series will now be relaunched in Oxford, and elsewhere.
