SEMINAR ON POLITICAL LEGAL AND ETHICAL THEORY
POLETH stands for a research group in Political, Legal and Ethical Theory. It is focused around, but not limited to, students and faculty from the Institute of Philosophical Research and Philosophy Department at UNAM. Its main activities are meeting for philosophical analysis of original work and the latest literature on the topic.
ALL presentations and discussion in the POLETH seminars are conducted in English. This is seen as a way to improve a set of skills, which are essential to actively participate in today’s international academic world. A paper in English is circulated a few days in advance, and the seminar involves a discussion with or without assistance of the author.
We meet some Wednesdays from 17:30-19:30 normally in room 6.
If you would like to take part in these seminars, please contact Enrique Camacho or Itzel Mayans at enrique.camacho@comunidad.unam.mx or itzel.mayans@gmail.com, who will add your name to the distribution list.
Call for papers:
We seek contributions from PhD students, MA students, as well as both established and junior scholars. The papers may address any topics in Political, Legal and Ethical Theory (See submission guidelines below).
In the meantime, we will meet to discuss central issues regarding the Methodology of Applied Ethics and use abortion, corruption, hate speech, and immigration as instances of application. Reading materials will be available by email request one week before the seminar date or at http://enriquecamachobeltran.blogspot.mx
