Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Recent political philosophy has not had much to say about poverty in general. But two currents of thought demonstrate its potential contribution to the thinking about this important issue for social policy.
First, political philosophy is paying increasing attention to social inequality; when this focuses on social exclusion, it connects with the concern of empirical poverty studies about ‘not having enough to fit in’. But in addition, some political philosophers argue that poverty, as traditionally understood, is only one way in which lives can go badly, and hence a wider concept of disadvantage or deprivation is needed.
