CALL FOR PAPERS
THE BRITISH SOCIETY FOR ETHICAL THEORY
2008 CONFERENCE

University of Edinburgh, UK

14-16th July 2008

Invited Speakers: Barbara Herman (UCLA), Wlodek Rabinowicz (Lund)

Papers are invited for the annual conference of the British Society for Ethical
Theory, to be held at the University of Edinburgh. The subject area is open
within metaethics and normative ethics. Papers on topics in applied ethics or
the history of ethics may also be considered provided they are also of wider
theoretical interest.

Papers, which should be unpublished at the time of submission, should be in
English, no longer than 6500 words, readable in at most 45 minutes and in a
form suitable for blind review. Please send your submission electronically, and
include an abstract, as well as your full name, address and academic
affiliation. Those who submitted papers for our previous conferences -
successfully or otherwise - are welcome to submit again (though not of course
the same papers!).

Please tell us if you are a postgraduate student: submissions from
postgraduates
are encouraged as our aim is that some such should be represented at the
conference.

Selected conference papers will be published in the journal “Ethical Theory and
Moral Practice”. Please make clear in any covering letter whether you wish your
paper to be considered for publication here as well as for the conference
programme.

The deadline for submissions is 7th December, 2007.

Papers and accompanying particulars should be emailed to Dr. Elinor Mason:

emason@staffmail.ed.ac.uk

Note that ONLY electronic submissions will be accepted.

Global Justice conference at Rutgers

The Rutgers Institute for Law and Philosophy will be hosting a one day conference on global justice this coming May 5th at the Rutgers School of Law-Camden. Participants include Charles Beitz, A. J. Julius, Ethan Kapstein, George Letsas, Stephen Macedo, Jamie Mayerfeld, Mathias Risse, and Gerardo Vildostegui. (This would be utterly shameless self-promotion if I were participating; as it is, its just shameless self-promotion.) The schedule as well as registration details are here: http://www.lawandphil.rutgers.edu/theupconferences.html. Hope to see some PEA brains there!
