We are pleased to share the news that St Anne’s DPhil candidate, Jakob Lomar, has won the 10th Annual Oxford Uehiro Prize in the graduate category, while St Anne’s PPE-ist, Ayesha Chakravarti, was the runner up in the undergraduate category.
The final of the 10th Annual National Oxford Uehiro Prize in Practical Ethics was held on 12th March in the Seminar Room of the Faculty of Philosophy, as well as online. During the final the four finalists presented their papers and ideas to an audience and responded to a short Q&A as the deciding round in the competition. The judges were St Anne’s Fellow Prof Roger Crisp, Prof Walter Sinnott-Armstrong and Dr Cristina Voinea.
Jakob’s winning entry was entitled “The Moral Importance of Low Welfare Species”, while Ayesha’s paper was called “Feminist in the streets, sadomasochist in the sheets: Are you morally aligning yourself with women’s subordination if you engage in consensually inegalitarian sexual relationships?”
Many congratulations to both students! You can read more, and find the full list of winners, here.
