We are excited to announce the call for papers for the 2026 Oxford Graduate Conference in Political Theory.

We welcome submissions from students pursuing graduate degrees in any department and working in any area of political theory—including but not limited to critical theory, analytic political philosophy, and the history of political thought. We especially encourage students from other institutions to submit their work for consideration, and we also accept applications from current students at Oxford.
