Call for Applications: Equality and Citizenship Summer School in Rijeka
The Center for Advanced Studies – South East Europe, the University of Rijeka, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Rijeka and the Croatian Society for Analytic Philosophy are organizing the 5th edition of the Equality and Citizenship Summer school from June 25th – 29th, 2018 in Rijeka, Croatia.
The Summer school does not reproduce, in a diluted form, the familiar teaching format of a university course. Instead, it is organized around “Author-Meets-Critics” symposia that are dedicated to publications and works-in-progress by some distinguished authors. All the leading participants will give a paper on a topic on which they are currently working, or a précis of a recently published book. During the symposia dedicated to them, they will then reply to the papers given by the other scholars.
This year’s leading participants are:
Prof Cecile Laborde, University of Oxford
Prof Julian Savulescu, University of Oxford
Prof Jonathan White, The London School of Economics and Political Science
Prof Lea Ypi, the London School of Economics and Political Science
The summer school is primarily aimed at attracting post-doc researchers and doctoral students. Participants are invited to send their applications by June 10th 2018. All participants will receive a certificate of participation that describes the activities in which they have participated at the summer school.

Please share with doctoral and post doctoral students at your departments. I’ve been to this summer school three times so far and it’s fantastic. Can’t recommend it enough.
