My friend David Sobel has asked me to pass along this Call for Abstracts. Take a look. This promises to be an exciting new workshop, and an important new journal.

This is a call for abstracts for the first annual Workshop for Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy to be held Oct. 17-20, 2013 in Tucson, AZ at the Westward Look Hotel and Resort. Abstracts in all areas of Political Philosophy are welcome.
The web page for the workshop is here: http://oxfordstudies.arizona.edu/
To submit an abstract, you must first go to the above web page and register. Once your registration is accepted, you will be able to login at that page and upload an abstract. Abstracts should not be e-mailed to the editors. Abstracts of between 250-500 words are due no later than April 15th . Submission of an abstract will be taken to imply that the paper is not under submission for publication elsewhere as well as implying an agreement to include the paper in the resulting volume of Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy, if accepted. There is a limit of one submission per person. We expect to be able to inform those whose papers have been accepted no later than May 15th, 2013.
The authors of all accepted abstracts will be expected to provide drafts of their essays for distribution to the workshop’s attendees three weeks prior to the workshop, present their ideas at the workshop, and submit the paper for possible inclusion into the inaugural volume of Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy by January 15th, 2014. It is important to note, however, that acceptance of an abstract for the workshop in no way guarantees that the paper will be accepted for publication.
The workshop is free and open to the public. We regret that we are unable to provide any financial support for those whose abstracts are accepted.
The keynote speakers for the 2013 Workshop are:
Charles Larmore, Brown University
Philip Pettit, Princeton University
A. John Simmons, University of Virginia
Hope to see you in Tucson,
David Sobel, Peter Vallentyne, and Steve Wall (editors)
