We mooted this idea on Twitter several years ago, and the reception was very positive. It has always been our goal to make the journal a home for those working at the intersection of criminal law and philosophy and publishing recent PhD abstracts seems to us to help with this goal in at least a couple of ways: it introduces new scholars to the community, and it enables more established scholars to learn about new work and new people. We hope, too, that publishing PhD abstracts will enhance the visibility of new scholars who, for whatever reason, lack the networks that some of us are lucky enough to enjoy and from which we benefit. To the same end, starting in 2024, we hope to establish a triennial Criminal Law and Philosophy Conference that will provide a regular, if not frequent, chance for our community to meet. We will be making further announcements about that soon. Publisher's Note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.
