I convene an online, monthly work-in-progress seminar in moral and political philosophy for early career researchers. MOPWiP had its genesis in the UCL Philosophy Department in the mid-2010s as an in-person work-in-progress seminar for MPhil and PhD students writing dissertations in moral and political philosophy. It’s still going strong so do get in touch if you have a draft paper you would like to share with us!
