Canadian Meeting of the International Association for Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy

The Canadian Section of the IVR
will meet as an affiliate of the CPA at
The University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta
Saturday, May 28, 2016

The IVR accepts papers devoted to subjects in law and legal theory and moral and political theory. Submitted papers (and commentaries on them) are circulated (password protected) via the IVR Website (http://phil.uregina.ca/cs-ivr) and the authors and commentators briefly summarize their points to open discussions at the meeting. See http://phil.uregina.ca/cs-ivr/about.html for further information about CS:IVR meetings.

There is no specific theme for this year's meeting; so your work in any of the above areas will be considered appropriate. However, we would welcome papers on the themes related to current affairs such as climate change, human rights, international law, global security, privacy, and aboriginal justice. Papers on the theme of the 2017 International IVR meeting in Istanbul – peace – would of course be welcome as well.
