Reading Ethics and Political Philosophy (REAPP)

Description

Reading Ethics and Political Philosophy (REAPP) was founded in 2013 to create an institutional framework for collaboration and cooperation between moral and political philosophers across the University.

It currently has nine permanent faculty members across three departments, as well as a similar number of postgraduate research students.

REAPP organises regular conferences and workshops, bringing in internationally renowned speakers. Speakers have come from universities across the UK and further afield, including Chicago, Leiden, Amsterdam, Milan and Northeastern, to discuss topics from the nature of legitimacy to how to understand political resistance.

As well as externally-focused events like workshops and conferences, REAPP also organises events focused on its members at Reading. It has organised a graduate reading group, which is also attended by some of its faculty members, and a work-in-progress seminar which currently meets twice a term.

The relationships that REAPP encourages and sustains have resulted in successful cross-departmental supervision of several PhD students, including some who have gone on to academic careers. These also feed, both directly and indirectly, into the research publications that its members write.
