The ECPR'S Kantian Standing Group
(KSG), in association with the Liverpool-Oxford-St

applications for its hybrid Winter School which explores the
relevance of Kantian political thought in addressing pressing global
challenges of our time such as climate change, world poverty, human rights
abuses, pandemics, AI, migration and hybrid war among others.
Approximately 15-20 postgraduate students and
postdoctoral researchers are invited to participate to 3 days of themed
sessions and discussions with the additional option of giving a presentation
and receiving feedback from expert scholars leading the sessions. A journal
special issue is planned with papers presented by delegates and instructors, to
be guest co-edited by Tom Bunyard (Liverpool) and Tom Whyman (Liverpool).

the Winter School will be followed by The Workshop
of the Contemporary Kantian Philosophy Project, which is on 'Kant and AI:
Metaphysical, Epistemic, Moral and Social Issues', and which starts immediately

December. On the evening of the 18th, the LOSAK Research Centre will be officially
launched, followed by the LOSAK Annual Lecture. This will be given by Huaping

to themes in the work of Huaping Lu-Adler.
