The Institute of Political Economy will be hosting an in person event for this year’s annual graduate student conference. This event is open to the public, but registration is required [complete form below].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title of this year\u2019s conference is \u201c<\/em>Confronting \u201cThe Spectre of Displacement.\u201d The title reflects the ubiquity of displacement in everyday life. <\/em>Although displacement is most often understood as peoples displaced from their lands, displacements are also occurring in urban communities and virtual worlds; through changes in labour relations and capital flight; and along political polarities, to name a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nKeynote Speaker:<\/strong> Visiting Professor, Dr. Maggie Fitzgerald (University of Saskatchewan). Maggie FitzGerald joined the Department of Political Studies at the University of Saskatchewan in July of 2020. Her research program engages two related areas. The first focuses on global ethics and international political theory, with an emphasis on decolonial ethics, normative and critical international relations theory, and feminist political economy. Her second strand of research centres on governing norms and the ways in which institutions and governments are (co)constitutive of values. Linking these two areas of research are feminist political theory and feminist ethics, and particularly the ethics of care. Her work has appeared in journals such as Ethics and Social Welfare<\/em>; Atlantis: Critical Studies in Gender, Culture, & Social Justice<\/em>; International Journal of Care and Caring<\/em>; and Journal of International Political Theory<\/em>. She is the author of Care and the Pluriverse: Rethinking Global Ethics<\/em> (Bristol University Press, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
