The Graduate Associates atthe University of Toronto Centre for Ethicsare soliciting papers for their 7th annual graduate student conference. The conference theme is &ldquo\;The Ethics of Roles: Public\, Professional\, Personal.&rdquo\; We will use this opportunity to explore the place of roles within our ethical lives\, such as the ways in which roles can alter our moral duties\, improve or corrupt our moral character\, and shape our understanding of others. We will also consider the ethical dimensions of specific roles\, for example: public servants\, lawyers\, medical professionals\, business professionals\, academics\, artists\, religious or spiritual advisors\, citizens\, parents\, siblings and friends. The hope is for this breadth of focus to reveal common questions and further our understanding of roles and their ethics.
\nThe conference will feature a public keynote address by Arthur Applbaum\, Adams Professor of Political Leadership and Democratic Values at Harvard University. Applbaum is the author of Ethics for Adversaries: The Morality of Roles in Public and Professional Life. His work on political legitimacy\, civil and official disobedience\, and role morality has appeared in journals such as Philosophy &\; Public Affairs\, Journal of the American Medical Association\, Harvard Law Review\, Ethics\, and Legal Theory.
\nThe Graduate Associates invite participants to present their work in an interdisciplinary environment that takes a deliberately broad approach to ethics. We welcome submissions from a variety of fields\, including\, but not limited to: political science\, philosophy\, bioethics\, literature\, law\, sociology\, economics\, religious studies\, and history. Accepted submissions will be paired with a discussant from the Centre for Ethics community.
