UK Association for Legal and Social Philosophy
Annual Conference 2004
Monday 5 - Wednesday 7 July
University of Wales College, Newport (Caerleon Campus)
EQUALITY
... and democracy
... and difference
... and freedom
... and the law
... and recognition
... and gender
... and citizenship
... and class
... and punishment
... and autonomy
... and community
... and meritocracy
... of what?
Why 'equality', as a value, a claim or an aim? How best should we
understand the term, its worth and its potential? How should it be applied
in contemporary social, legal and other institutional practice? What does
it presuppose, whether as an ideal or a concrete goal? In a world
increasingly presented as being characterised by difference and plurality,
does equality retain its normative force?
This is the latest in a series of conferences exploring areas of
intersection between debates in political, legal, ethical and social theory
on issues of pressing contemporary concern. A number of subsidised places
are available for postgraduate students and those
without institutional support.
