  • Canadian Journal of Practical Philosophy

    Each year, the Canadian Society for Study of Practical Ethics / Société Canadienne Pour L'étude De L'éthique Appliquée (CSSPE/SCEEA) hosts a conference in conjunction with the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences. The Congress is a unique academic event. Since 1930, it has brought together associations and societies from a wide variety of academic disciplines under one umbrella. The Congress meets annually on a Canadian university campus and the CSSPE/SCEEA has been a member of the Congress since 1987.

    In keeping with the wide mandate of the Congress, the CSSPE/SCEEA is interested in practical ethics broadly construed. The following papers were presented at some of the recent conferences of the CSSPE/SCEEA. The editors have ordered them according to loose affinites but the reader is free to peruse them in any manner deemed appropriate.

    It is our hope that readers will find these papers refreshing in the perspectives that they bring to practical ethics. Representing the work of philosophers, historians, and social scientists, they cover a range of topics and ideas one is not likely to encounter at more specialized conferences in practical ethics.

  • Critical Social Work

    Critical Social Work offers the opportunity for constructive dialogue in the interest of achieving social justice. We recognize the historical nature of both human capability and social justice. With such recognition, we do not attempt a definitive definition of either. In part the goal of Critical Social Work is to assist us collectively in recognizing the current potentials for social justice as well as the future possibilities. Further, we recognize that a contemporary definition of social justice must deal with the issues of legal, moral, and economic obligation of both the individual and the collective.

    We propose that through dialogue there exists the possibility of refining our ideas about the individual and community, clarifying the relationship between interpersonal relations and institutional structures, and identifying actions that promote both individual and community well-being. To this end Critical Social Work strives, for this is surely critical social work, that is, activity directed towards establishing essential judgments in constructing a sustaining context for conviviality.

  • Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice

    Consistent with its history and mandate and in light of previous suggestions by SSHRC, the Yearbook has sought to ensure that published articles move beyond doctrinal analysis of law. While analysis of legal texts and developments in legal interpretation are by no means eschewed, the Editors acknowledged the extraordinary wealth of scholarship about access to justice (rather than access to legal institutions) in the discourses of anthropology, philosophy, social history, classics and literary criticism. The Editors intend to continue efforts to tap the potential of such scholarship for the Yearbook and value papers that draw upon social science and other non-doctrinal sources of legal scholarship.
