CHill Meta 2 Call for Abstracts

I am pleased to announce a Call for Abstracts for the 2^nd annual CHillMeta workshop, taking place in Chapel Hill on September 9-11, 2016. Abstracts (of 3 double-spaced pages) of papers in any area of metaethics are welcome from almost anyone—only those who were speakers in the 2014 or 2015 workshop are ineligible to submit something for this year’s event. Submissions are limited to one per person and are due by May 1, 2016. Please email submissions and send any questions to me. A program committee will evaluate submissions and make decisions by early June. More information about the workshop is available here.

On a related note: if you are interested in submitting a paper for the Marc Sanders Prize in Metaethics (announced earlier here), these are due to me, via email, by March 1. Anyone within 15 years of having received a Ph.D. is eligible to submit a paper for consideration. The winner receives $10,000, an automatic spot on the CHillMeta program, and inclusion of his or her paper in a future volume of Oxford Studies in Metaethics.

Hope to see you in Chapel Hill this fall!
All the best,
Russ Shafer-Landau

BEARS back online

Due to a website renovation, the Brown Electronic Article Review Service was offline for many months. But it's back now.

It's really just an archive now, but it has some good stuff and I know people want to cite it and even assign articles in their classes -- in fact, that's how we found out it was unaddressable.

We're sorry for the irritation, and sorry it took so long to fix, too. Think of it as a seasonally confused hibernation.

CHill 2015 Program

The First Annual Chapel Hill Metaethics Workshop (announced here in April) now has a complete lineup, including a new Sanders Prize winner. Program below the fold; and more info at the workshop's web site. To register (for free!) just send email to Russ S-L.

 

Don't get Mad; get CHill!

A much-anticipated announcement from Russ Shafer-Landau:

The annual metaethics workshop that's long been held at UW-Madison is now moving (along with yours truly) to UNC Chapel Hill. There will be no workshop in Madison this year. The dates of this year's workshop are Oct. 30-Nov. 1, 2015.

Call for Papers: Marc Sanders Metaethics Prize for Younger Scholars

Update: the prize has been increased to $10,000.

So now those of you early-career metaethicists who weren't submitting because the eight grand wasn't quite enough of an incentive can go ahead and send Russ your best paper.

 

On behalf of Russ Shafer-Landau I'm very pleased to announce a Call for Papers for the 2nd annual Marc Sanders Prize in Metaethics.

The winner of the prize will receive $8,000, present his or her paper at the next Wisconsin Metaethics Workshop, and have the winning paper included in a forthcoming volume of Oxford Studies in Metaethics.
