Justice Everywhere returns this week for a new season. We continue in our aim to provide a public forum for the exchange of ideas about philosophy and public affairs.

We have lots of exciting content coming your way! This includes:

• The launch of a new special series on Teaching Philosophy, kicking off with an interview with Liam Kofi Bright.
• A special “philosophers’ rundown” on COP26 in November.
• Lots more from our popular Beyond the Ivory Tower series, in which we interview those working at/across the boundary between theory and practice.
• Videos and podcasts introducing Political Philosophy in a Pandemic: Routes to a More Just Future (Bloomsbury 2021) – a collection of essays on the ethics and politics of COVID-19 out later this month. The book’s been written almost exclusively by Justice Everywhere authors and friends (including all of those interviewed in our Beyond the Ivory Tower series – Onora O’Neill, Marc Stears, Jonathan Wolff, Rebecca Lowe, and Rowan Cruft).
• The continuation of our collaboration with the Journal of Applied Philosophy, introducing you to cutting-edge research being published on justice-related topics in applied and engaged philosophy.
• Weekly posts from our a superb (and expanded!) team of house authors, offering analysis of a vast array of issues in moral and political philosophy, as well social policy and political economy every Monday.

So please follow us, read and share posts on social media (we’re on both Facebook and Twitter), and feel free to comment on posts using the comment box at the bottom of each post. If you have a suggestion for a topic or would like to contribute a guest post on a topical subject in political philosophy (broadly construed), please feel free to get in touch with us at justice.everywhere.blog@gmail.com.

While Justice Everywhere takes a break over the summer, we recall some of the highlights from our 2020-21 season.

Over this past year, several Justice Everywhere authors have published (or are soon to publish) books in 2021. Check them out below:

• In this post, Andrew Walton introduces his book (co-authored with Will Abel, Elizabeth Kahn and Tom Parr), Introducing Political Philosophy: A Policy-Driven Approach which is now out with Oxford University Press.
• Sara Van Goozen has published a monograph, Distributing the Harm of Just Wars: In Defence of an Egalitarian Baseline, with Routledge.
• Justice Everywhere editors, Fay Niker and Aveek Bhattacharya, have a volume entitled Political Philosophy in a Pandemic: Routes to a More Just Future coming out next month with Bloomsbury. Here’s the announcement about the book; you can also read the Foreword (by Onora O’Neill) and the Introduction (by the editors) via this widget.

Several other Justice Everywhere authors are currently working on books on topics connecting philosophy and public affairs, so keep tuned in for more information about these over the coming year!

We’re very pleased to announce that our book, Political Philosophy in a Pandemic: Routes to a More Just Future, is released today in e-book format. The print versions will follow, on 23rd September. You can order the e-book and/or pre-order a print copy here (or via other booksellers, such as Waterstones, Amazon, etc.). You can also read an extract of the book — which includes the Table of Contents, Foreword by Onora O’Neill, and Introduction — here.

Edited by two of the Justice Everywhere editors (Fay Niker and Aveek Bhattacharya), with several of the chapters written by Justice Everywhere contributors, and having its genesis in a blogpost for this website, this is very much a Justice Everywhere book. We hope you will read and find it stimulating.
