Papers should be sent to me (lippert@ps.au.dk) no later than Feb 3. I will circulate all papers to participants Feb 4 (two are circulated with this email).

For each paper there will be a commentator, who has max 10 minutes to present the core claims of the paper and some critical reflections. After a brief reply from the author, the floor is open for discussion.

Unfortunately, we have very little funding for the workshop so we cannot offer to pay for lunch or dinner.

Re lunch: There's a sandwich shop on Holywell St (The Alternative Tuck Shop) and another one on Broad St (The Morton's) as well as a sandwich/coffee sit down place in the Weston Library which is opposite the KA with an entrance from Broad St (what used to be the New Bod Library but with a difference entrance).

Re coffee: bring your own coffee in the morning and after lunch. (Sorry – I realize this is a risky social experiment!)

Venue: Lecture room 6 at New College (which is on the right, in staircase 6, as you come through the College main entrance at Holywell St), Centre for the Study of Social Justice, University of Oxford See you February 10th!

See you February 10th!
