I don’t usually post ads, but we’re running a pretty darn cool conference out at BGSU next year.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

The Bowling Green Workshop in Applied Ethics and Public Policy

Political Utopia: Promise or Peril? 

April 25^th-26^th, 2014

The Bowling Green Workshop in Applied Ethics and Public Policy will take place in Bowling Green, Ohio, April 25^th-26^th, 2014. The keynote speakers are David Estlund (Brown University) and Gerald Gaus (University of Arizona).

Those interested in presenting a paper are invited to submit a 2-3 page abstract (double-spaced) by November 1, 2013. We welcome submissions in all areas in applied ethics and philosophical issues relevant to public policy. Special consideration will be given to papers relevant to this year’s conference theme: on the prospects of ideal and nonideal theory in contemporary political philosophy. The theme is to be construed broadly, so we encourage submissions that draw on normative ethics, metaethics and applied ethics.

Only one submission per person is permitted. Abstracts will be evaluated by a program committee and decisions made in November 2013. Please direct all abstracts and queries to: pibarra@bgsu.edu
