CONFERENCE - NEW DIRECTIONS IN GLOBAL JUSTICE
CONFERENCE
NEW DIRECTIONS IN GLOBAL JUSTICE
jointly held by KFG “Justitia Amplificata” (Freie U. Berlin and Goethe U. Frankfurt)
and Research Group on Global Justice of the Yan P. Lin Centre (McGill University)
funded by a FIW-2018-009 McGill-FUB Grant
Global justice has become a central focus of research in contemporary political philosophy, but political theorists and philosophers of global justice still have rare occasions to engage with empirical scholars and scholarship regarding the challenges of conceptualizing, institutionalizing, and practicing justice in historical and contemporary political conditions. Both the Justitia Amplificata Research Group, based at the Goethe Universität Frankfurt and the Freie Universität Berlin, and the Research Group on Global Justice of the Yan P. Lin Centre at McGill University, have considerable intellectual resources devoted to fostering greater collaboration and dialogue between empirical and theoretical scholars in order to push beyond existing literatures on global justice. This conference builds on a successful joint conference between these two research groups that took place in September, 2017, at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
