CFP: Workshop on Exploitation and Coercion

The Center for Ethics & Policy at Carnegie Mellon University invites paper abstracts for an inaugural Workshop on Ethics & Policy to be hosted November 4-5, 2016 at the CMU campus in Pittsburgh, PA. We are pleased to welcome Richard Arneson as our keynote  speaker.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the publication of Alan Wertheimer's seminal work Exploitation, the theme for our inaugural workshop is "Exploitation and Coercion". Submissions are welcome on any tompic germane to the works of Dr. Wertheimer, with preference given to papers related to the relevance of exploitation and/or coercion to current issues in applied ethics and policy.

Submissions are due by July 15, 2016. Submissions should be sent via email to [email protected]. Emails should include the full name, contact information, and institutional affiliation of the author(s), as well as an abstract of 500-1000 words prepared for blind review in .docx or .pdf format. Abstracts will be reviwed by a program committee, and notifications will be made by August 15.
