The Center for Advanced Studies – South East Europe, the University of Rijeka, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Rijeka, and the Croatian Society for Analytic Philosophy are organizing the 7th edition of the Equality and Citizenship Summer School which will be held from July 13th to 17th, 2020 in Rijeka, Croatia.

The Summer School does not reproduce, in a diluted form, the familiar teaching format of a university course. Instead, it is organized around “Author-Meets-Critics” symposia that are dedicated to publications and works-in-progress by some distinguished authors. All the leading participants will give a paper on a topic on which they are currently working or a précis of a recently published book. During the symposia dedicated to them, they will then reply to the papers given by the other scholars.

This year’s leading participants are:

Dr. Ivan Cerovac, University of Rijeka

Dr. Sarah Fine, King’s College, London

Prof. Samuel Freeman, University of Pennsylvania

Prof. Philippe Van Parijs, Université catholique de Louvain

The Summer School is primarily aimed at attracting post-doc researchers and doctoral students. They can contribute to the discussion by commenting and asking questions, and in case they participated in earlier editions of the Summer School, they are invited to apply with paper proposals for the symposia and send an abstract of no more than 2,500 characters by May 1st, 2020. Other participants are invited to send their applications by May 15th, 2020. All participants will receive a certificate of participation that describes the activities in which they have participated at the Summer School.

Directors of the Summer School:

Prof. Elvio Baccarini, University of Rijeka

Prof. Snježana Prijić-Samaržija, University of Rijeka

Ast. Prof. Nebojša Zelič, University of Rijeka
