Invitation and Call For Special Workshop
The 32nd World Congress of the International Association for Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy, to be held from June 28 to July 3, 2026, in Istanbul, invites scholars to submit proposals for special workshops and individual papers. The theme for the meeting is “Law in the Face of the Changing Problems of the World”, but papers and panels need not be restricted to this theme.

We are currently accepting proposals, and the deadline for special workshop proposals is May 30, 2026. Authors can submit proposals through the submit page (https://submit.ivr2026istanbul.org/). Please create an account and fill out the submission form.
Proposals on topics related to the philosophy of law and social philosophy in a broader sense are also welcomed. Convenors of a special workshop will write a proposal dealing with a particular theme or subject. There is a 750-word limit for a special workshop proposal.
The IVR 2026 organizing committee will give its best attention and contact the corresponding author(s) by the end of each month. All accepted proposals will be made available on the Programme menu.
