➤ moral and political philosophy paper overviews • immigration ethics, collective ownership of Earth • class privilege and fairness • just war theory, justification for killing in warThis podcast features conversations with authors from the *Journal of Practical Ethics*, an open-access journal in moral and political philosophy published by the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics at the University of Oxford. In each installment, an academic discusses the central arguments of their recent journal article with an interviewer, offering an accessible overview of the paper’s aims, reasoning, and conclusions.
Across the episodes, the focus is on practical ethics as it applies to major public questions and social institutions. Topics include ethical and political debates about immigration framed through ideas of humanity’s collective claims over the Earth; questions of justice and responsibility related to socioeconomic advantage and how class privilege might be ethically addressed; and moral issues in armed conflict, particularly the conditions under which killing in war might be justified. The discussions emphasize normative analysis—how we should act, what we owe to others, and which principles should guide policy and conduct—while engaging with real-world dilemmas that connect moral theory to contemporary political life.
