The Pluralism, Democracy, and Justice (PDJ) research group of the Department of Philosophy of the University of Tromsø invites you to participate in the conference Realizing Global Justice: Theory and Practice to be held on 19–22 June 2013 at the University of Tromsø, Norway. The conference is intended as a meeting place for friendly discussions and conjoint learning among students, young researchers and internationally renowned researchers such as Professor Philippe Van Parijs (Catholic University of Louvain), Professor Thomas Pogge (Yale University), Professor Gerard Delanty (University of Sussex), Professor Tove Pettersen (University of Oslo), and Associate Professor Eva Erman (Uppsala University). The University of Tromsø, the northernmost university in the world, was included among the world’s top universities by the Academic Ranking of World Universities in 2010. Moreover, the university was pleased and honored to have Noam Chomsky as a guest lecturer at a meeting held in September 2012 demonstrating our engagement in an open and meaningful debate on global justice issues. The conference will also be a great opportunity to explore the capital city of the Arctic, a place full of culture and history, surrounded by incredibly beautiful fjords and mountains. At the time of the conference, it will be possible to enjoy the midnight sun. During the conference days, you are also invited to admire the photography exhibition “The Claims of Justice”, by the Brazilian photographer, Rodolfo Gil. A very inspiring experience, indeed!

Velkommen til Tromsø!

Recently, purely theoretical approaches on global justice have been challenged by philosophers and political theorists who defend a more practical or realistic approach to this issue. Nevertheless, the debate has been regarded either as excessively abstract with no implications on current life or as excessively restricted to the discussion about policies and institutions. In principle, both positions may be understood not as opposed to each other, but, rather, as complementary ones. However, making them compatible with one another is not an easy task, especially when moral and legal issues are taken into account simultaneously. The Brazilian photographer, Rodolfo Gil, has managed to capture this ambiguity in his picture called “The bench”, this brochure’s cover photo. Beside the beggar, there is a vacant place. The beggar is claiming for justice right here and right now. His claim for justice is then based on the experiences of injustice. In the vacant spot, however, we have a place of sheer contemplation where the claim for justice is based on the ideal of the virtue. Let us then try to imagine our arguments considering both sides of the picture: with and without the beggar. Whichever side we choose, this exercise will undoubtedly contribute to the discussion. Thus, we expect to promote a fruitful debate on the convergence between the theoretical and the practical approaches on global justice. We encourage papers: * Arguing for or against the theoretical approach. * Arguing for or against the practical approach. * Exploring or rejecting the possibility of convergence between them.

Submission Process

Abstracts must be submitted 1.5 spaced and should contain between 300-500 words. They must be submitted by 15 May 2013.
