Witnesses and Evidence

Topics will include, but are not limited to considerations of: social, political, literary, and moral theory, alongside studies of the impact of information-gathering and decision-making in drama and oratory – but in both respects, with a strong focus on the application of key ideas and values in social and political justice to issues of pressing ethical concern. We are keen to include papers exploring the ways in which both drama and oratory, refined and disciplined by the rhetorical devices of the trial, cut at the joints of human actions.
