The Canadian Philosophical Association meets from the 27th to the 30th of May.
There is no specific theme for this year’s meeting. The IVR accepts papers devoted to subjects in law and legal theory, moral and political theory. Individual members have expressed interest in the criminal law (given the omnibus crime bill) and freedom of expression (given the upcoming Supreme Court decision re hate speech).
Submitted papers (and commentaries on them) are circulated (password protected) via the IVR website (http://phil.uregina.ca/cs-ivr) and commentators briefly summarize their points to open discussions at the meeting.
