# Event Details - **Event Name**: KJuris: Social Conventions as Sui Generis - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Dec, 2025 at 05:00 pm – Wed, 17 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: The Yeoh Tiong Lay Centre for Politics, Philosophy and Law is delighted to host Prof Dale Dorsey for the 2025/26 KJuris programme.About this EventTitle:Social Conventions as Sui Generis.Abstract:Others’ expectations of our behavior, and our expectations of theirs, frequently involve social conventions: the right way to queue for a bus, how to behave in a concert audience, how to conduct oneself in the presence of a distinguished guest, the written and unwritten rules of professional sports. Furthermore, our expectations seem reasonable: these social conventions do appear to exert a normative pull. But why? In this talk, I argue for the suggestion that social conventions are normatively significant because they are, in fact, the social conventions in which we participate. I canvass and reject an assimilationist alternative, according to which social conventions are significant because they are morally significant. Instead, I hold that the normativity of social conventions is direct.Speaker bio:Dale Dorsey is Professor of Moral Philosophy and Tutorial Fellow at Somerville College, Oxford. He works broadly in ethics, including metaethics and the history of ethics.Location:Ante Room SW1.17 Somerset House East Wing, Strand Campus, King's College LondonTime:17:00-19:00 - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/kjuris-social-conventions-as-sui-generis/100001794332289179 - **Event Categories**: concerts, sports, music, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fkjuris-social-conventions-as-sui-generis-tickets-1794332289179 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: SW1.17, Somerset House East Wing - **lat**: 51.5117608 - **long**: -0.1178428000000622 - **full address**: SW1.17, Somerset House East Wing, Strand, London, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: KJuris at Dickson Poon School of Law (https://allevents.in/org/kjuris-at-dickson-poon-school-of-law/26988939) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/64ff5dbe51876fd499eb2439766d7daeca9389c5274c8679fe387da964f9a1bc-rimg-w1200-h600-dc575755-gmir.jpg?v=1761939170 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/efaeb9a88b88d5c37e45e428cf72d06d952ee11192cd89e857f493a120f5c008-rimg-w400-h400-dc8e9090-gmir.jpg?v=1761939169 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Wed, 17 Dec, 2025 at 05:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** SW1.17, Somerset House East Wing, Strand, London, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** KJuris at Dickson Poon School of Law - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** concerts, sports, music, entertainment - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about KJuris: Social Conventions as Sui Generis ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "KJuris: Social Conventions as Sui Generis", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/64ff5dbe51876fd499eb2439766d7daeca9389c5274c8679fe387da964f9a1bc-rimg-w1200-h600-dc575755-gmir.jpg?v=1761939170", "startDate": "2025-12-17", "endDate": "2025-12-17", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/kjuris-social-conventions-as-sui-generis/100001794332289179", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "SW1.17, Somerset House East Wing", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Strand", "postalCode": "WC2R 2LS", "addressLocality": "London", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.5117608", "longitude": "-0.1178428000000622" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "The Yeoh Tiong Lay Centre for Politics, Philosophy and Law is delighted to host Prof Dale Dorsey for the 2025/26 KJuris programme.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "2025-12-17", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/kjuris-social-conventions-as-sui-generis/100001794332289179" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/kjuris-social-conventions-as-sui-generis/100001794332289179", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "KJuris at Dickson Poon School of Law", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/kjuris-at-dickson-poon-school-of-law/26988939", "description": "‘KJuris’ represents the many and varied activities, centres, programs, and individuals engaged in jurisprudence, legal theory, and related moral and social philosophy at King’s College London.Led by scholars of The Dickson Poon of Law, the KJuris community is made up of members with specialty in law, as well as other King’s departments including Philosophy and Political Economy.
