The British Postgraduate Philosophy Association (BPPA) is glad to announce that our CFA for the 2023 Annual Conference is now closed, and that registration for the conference and the Annual Masterclass is now open . The theme of the Conference and the Masterclass is somewhat open, exploring all topics within the branch of practical philosophy, including (but not limited to): political philosophy, feminist philosophy, social epistemology, environmental ethics, philosophy of technology, philosophy of law, philosophy of public policy, and so on. For practical information about the conference, please scroll down to the bottom of the page.
