About
The Dublin Political Theory Workshop hosted byUCD School of Politics and International Relationsbrings together political theorists located in, visiting, or otherwise connected to Dublin. We discuss work in progress in the area of political theory widely understood including debates on applied ethics and social and legal philosophy.
If there happens to be no draft ready for discussion, we also like to discuss readings that are of interest to the group.
If you are interested to discuss your work with us, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
