Call for paper: "New Perspectives on Migration"

FQP/PPI - – Filosofia e Questioni Pubbliche/Philosophy and Public Issues

Submission deadline: January 31, 2025.

Topic areas: Social and Political Philosophy

Details: FQP/PPI is launching a call for submissions of articles on the topic of “New Perspectives on Migration”. Given the socio-political importance of the phenomenon, academic reflection on migration has been a constant in recent decades. Massive population movements have a profound social, political, and economic impact on both sending and receiving countries.

Political theorists first addressed migration in general terms but, in recent years there has been an increased interest in some more specific topics related both to empirical issues and to certain contingencies of the contemporary political situation.

Our journal will publish a book Symposium on Valeria Ottonelli and Tiziana Torresi's recent book The Right Not to Stay. Justice in Migration, the Liberal Democratic State, and the Case of Temporary Migration Projects (Oxford University Press, 2022). The expected date of publication of the symposium is June 2025. 

In relation to this, we are also launching a call for submission of original papers discussing problems such as (but not limited to): Temporary migration; Migration and global justice; Democracy and migration; Labour market and migration; Gender issues and migration; Migration and multiculturalism;  Religious pluralism and migration; Citizenship and migration; Political asylum and refugee status; Climate change and migration.

Submission Details:

Please send a (.doc or .docx) file containing the full paper and a title, prepared for blind review with all revealing references to the author removed. All personal information (name, affiliation, and contact) must be submitted separately, along with a short abstract (200 words max). The deadline for submission is January 31 2025.

All materials must be submitted via e-mail to the editors of the symposium (domenico.melidoro@gmail.com & gloria.zuccarelli@uniupo.it) and to our managing editors fqpppijournal@gmail.com

Call for Paper: "Structural Injustice"

FQP/PPI – Filosofia e Questioni/Philosophy and Public Issues

Submission Deadline: August 30, 2024

Topic areas: Social and Political Philosophy

Details: FQP/PPI is launching a call for submissions of articles on the topic of ‘structural injustice’ with the aim of contributing to the current academic debates on this topic. Structure has long been a popular concept in political philosophy. The idea that injustice can be built in and reproduced by structures has been shared by a wide variety of schools of thought. Despite this intellectual history, structures, and structural injustice in particular, became a central point for discussion in contemporary political theory following Iris Marion Young’s works (Young, 1990; 2003; 2004; 2006a; 2006b; 2011). Structural injustice and the political responsibility model suggested by Young also sparked a considerable secondary literature that either challenges her views or applies her theory to timely case studies such as colonialism (Lu, 2011; 2017; 2023), climate change (Godoy, 2017), and gender inequality (Nuti, 2019; Parekh, 2011).

We invite submissions of original contributions discussing topics that include, but are not limited to: Structural injustice and global justice; Oppression, domination, exploitation; Misrecognition and structural injustice; Liability model vs. political responsibility model; Responsibility attribution for structural injustice; Backward-looking remedies vs. forward-looking measures; Critical discussions on structural injustice (e.g. Estlund 2024); Activism and structural change; Social transformations and structural change; Historical injustice and structural injustice; Identity politics and structural injustice; Structural injustice and vulnerability
