The Oxford-Queen’s workshop in Political Studies, Philosophy, and Law was held at St. John’s College in Oxford on June 10th. Speakers from both Queen’s University and the University of Oxford discussed a range of topics throughout the day from “Authentic Interpretation,” to “Law and the Socialist Ideal,” and “Justifying the Right of Return.”
“The Queen’s powerhouse in Law, Philosophy and Politics was in full force at the Oxford-Queen’s workshop with a full roster of outstanding papers from scholars at both universities and stimulating, engaged discussion,” says Christine Sypnowich, Professor and Department Head (Philosophy, Law). “A diversity of topics that came together beautifully as the different themes were built on and challenged throughout the day’s sessions. The workshop was enhanced by the lovely setting at St. John’s College, Oxford, thanks to the kind hospitality of Law Fellow Richard Ekins. Looking forward to next year’s deliberations!”
“As a testament to the overlapping nature of the three disciplines, the discussion over each paper was rich, with active participation from all,” says , Professor (Law, Philosophy) and Canada Research Chair in Public Law and Philosophy of Law.
