Pablo Gilabert, PhD

Education

I am a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Concordia University (Montreal, Canada). I am a native of Argentina. My areas of specialization are social and political philosophy and ethics. Within these areas, my research and teaching interests include topics in social justice and human rights. I am also interested in distributive issues, democratic theory, contractualist theories in normative ethics, the Frankfurt School tradition of critical theory, Kant’s practical philosophy, and Marxism and socialism.

I have been an HLA Hart Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford, a DAAD Fellow at the University of Frankfurt, a Visiting Fellow at the Australian National University, a Visiting Fellow at the University of Montreal, a Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Faculty Fellow in the Center for Human Values at Princeton University, and a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley.  In 2025 I will be a Visiting Fellow at the Australian National University and at All Souls College (University of Oxford).

My papers appeared in journals such as The Journal of Political Philosophy, Politics, Philosophy & Economics, Political Theory, The Philosophical Quarterly, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Philosophical Studies, The European Journal of Philosophy, and Kantian Review. I am the author of From Global Poverty to Global Equality. A Philosophical Exploration, Human Dignity and Human Rights, and Human Dignity and Social Justice (all published with Oxford University Press). 

I am currently working on a project titled "Work, Well-Being, and Social Justice," funded by an Insight Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
