EPLab Permanent Seminar
The Permanent Seminar of the Laboratory of Ethics and Political Philosophy (EPLab) is a space for reflection dedicated to the discussion of works in the field of Moral and Political Philosophy. Focusing, in particular, on the dissemination of research carried out by its members, collaborators and doctoral students, the EPLab Seminar is open to all those interested.
Each session will be led by one person, who will present their work (whether it be something already published or a work in progress), with the sessions divided into two parts: a first part for presentation, and a second part for group discussion.
The EPLab Seminar will be held in either Portuguese or English, depending on the presenter’s preference. It will take place in person, with the option of online streaming, held monthly (2025/2026) or bi-monthly (2026/2027), with sessions lasting 1h30. It is organised by Devon Cass (devoncass@fcsh.unl.pt) and Inês Pinheiro (ines.pinheiro@campus.fcsh.unl.pt).
