Commentators include: Roger Crisp, Gabriel De Marco, Tom Dougherty, Tom Douglas, Jeff McMahan, Karen Margrethe Nielsen, David Prendergast, Janet Radcliffe-Richards, and Victor Tadros, Gabrielle Watson, and Alexander Kaiserman.

A very limited number of attendee places are available. Those interested in attending should express their interest by 1 March to lisa.forsberg [at] law.ox.ac.uk. Upon notification of acceptance you will be sent a full draft manuscript of the book which should be read in advance of the symposium.
