The Centre for Ethics and Poverty Research (CEPR) of the University
of Salzburg is happy to announce the call for papers for its "2018
Salzburg Workshop in Philosophy and Poverty". In 2018, the workshop
will be held at the University of Salzburg on 17 & 18 May 2018 and
focus on the topic of "Poverty and the Family".

The invited speaker for this workshop is Jonathan Wolff (Oxford), who
will give a talk on "Poverty, Social Expectations, and the Family".

We invite scholars to submit papers on any topic of philosophical
inquiry into poverty. Possible topics include poverty as an issue of
global or social justice, human rights and poverty, the ethical
obligation of poverty alleviation and the design of poverty
alleviation measures or philosophical issues in poverty measurement,
the conception of poverty and poverty research.

Preference will be given to scholars in the earlier stages of their
career and to papers that are related to the workshop topic of
"Poverty and the Family". Possible topics for papers are, among
others, the intergenerational transmission of poverty, inequalities
between and within families, responsibilities towards poor families,
parents and children, the relation between the family and the state,
parental rights and duties under conditions of poverty, the ethical
underpinnings of policy responses to family and child poverty, gender
roles, patriarchy, intimate violence and poverty, or procreation in
an radical unequal world and in times of severe poverty.

The workshop will run over two days and each speaker will have 75
minutes (about 25 minutes for presentation and 50 minutes for
discussion). Draft papers are shared in advance and speakers can
focus on the key points of their paper in the oral presentation. A
peer-reviewed publication of selected papers is envisaged in an
edited volume on the workshop topic in the Springer Book Series
Philosophy and Poverty. We expect that particpants consider this
option to publish their paper presented at the Workshop.

There is no conference fee. Coffee breaks and two lunches will be
covered by the CEPR. Unfortunately we cannot offer any subsidy for
travel and accommodation costs.

If you are interested in participating please submit an extended
abstract of 750 words ready for blind review via the submission form
on the workshop homepage. Deadline for submissions is 15 December
2017, and decisions will be communicated within two weeks. It is
expected that draft versions of the papers are shared two weeks
before the workshop.
