Workshop description
In this age of Brexit and Trump, many of the political institutions once thought stable are under attack. Rights widely considered universal and inalienable are routinely being questioned; pluralism and liberal forms of democracy have fallen out of fashion; calls for closed borders and a retreat into national identity abound. In many ways, then, our age is one of fracture—the fragmentation of institutions to which we have grown accustomed. How might normative theory respond to some of the most pressing political problems of our times? What guidance can it provide for the construction of institutions that enable social cooperation that is just and legitimate?

Speakers
Tamara Jugov (Free University Berlin), Catherine Lu (McGill University), Lawrie Balfour (University of Virginia), Antoinette Scherz (Goethe University Frankfurt), Dominic Roser (University of Fribourg), Paula Casal (Pompeu Fabra University and ICREA), Dimitrios Efthymiou (Goethe University Frankfurt), Paulina Ochoa Espejo (Haverford College), Sofia Näsström (University of Uppsala), Allen Buchanan (Duke University), Jiewuh Song (Seoul National University), David Owen (University of Southampton), Adam Hosein (University of Colorado Boulder).
