We are pleased to announce a series of three online seminars\, each dedicated to the discussion with the author(s) of a draft paper circulated among participants in advance.
\nEach paper and seminar engages\, in a different way\, with the moral limits of shaping others. The first seminar will focus on a paper by Areti Theofilopoulou (Warwick) that examines the distinction between coercive control and boundary-setting in romantic relationships. The second will discuss a paper by Christie Harley (Georgia State) and Ashley Lindsley-Kim (British Columbia)\, arguing for abortion rights on the grounds that state-enforced pregnancy and childbirth are incompatible with the status of equal citizenship. The third and final seminar will consider a paper by Nanette Ryan (Singapore) and Joshua Lucza (Singapore) which argues that\, in response to the climate crisis\, children&rsquo\;s capacities for responsible\, reflective\, and ethically engaged citizenship should be prioritized over cultivating frugal preferences in children.
