event planning and direction
I enjoy organizing events that bring together diverse groups of scholars and students to talk about a variety of ethical issues across diciplinary contexts. Here are some highlights...(click on any image for a bigger views)
Dignity
This 2014 workshop featured an international and interdiciplinary group of scholars writing chapters for a book I'm editing for Oxford UP entiteld, Dignity: A History. The book will appear late 2015 or early 2016 as part of OUP's new series, Oxford Philosophical Concepts.
Moral Sentimentalism
This was my most recent event, which I co-organized with Karsten Stueber at Holy Cross. This was another workshop conference featuring authors in a volume Karsten and I are editing for Cambridge University Press.
Empathy & Ethics
This massive event took place in 2011. It combined over 20 elite ethicists and a competitve CFP for graduate students. The main papers on the program were published in a special issue of the Southern Journal of Philsophy together with replies from critics. Here's a link to the full conference schdedule.
Others' Minds
I ran this special speaker series during the Fall of 2010, to coincide with a seminar on cognitive science which I ran for the Institute of Intelligent Systems - the largest interdiciplinary center at Memphis.
