The First PLP Graduate Conference

25–26 June 2026 · Balliol and Wadham Colleges, University of Oxford

In June 2026 the Graduate Forum held its first in-person conference, bringing graduate students and faculty from across the network (and well beyond it) to Oxford for two days of papers and discussion at Balliol and Wadham Colleges.

Six graduate speakers presented work in progress, three each day, having travelled from Oxford, Cambridge, the LSE, Harvard, the Central European University, and the University of Neuchâtel. Each paper drew a faculty response and a response from a fellow graduate student, and each day closed with a keynote lecture.
