Over the 2019-2020 academic year\, the Carol and Lawrence Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research at the Wharton School\, University of Pennsylvania\, will convene a regular works-in-progress series for scholars working in normative business ethics (NBE). In particular\, the Series will workshop papers pursuing business ethics issues from a normative perspective\, or papers in moral or political philosophy with implications for the market\, distributive justice\, labor relations\, the role of business in society\, etc.
\nWorkshop Objectives
\nThe Series is part of an effort to foster normative business ethics in the academy and the public sphere. This particular initiative has two key objectives: First\, it endeavors to provide a regular forum for scholars working on business ethics from a normative perspective. The community of such scholars is relatively small\, and dispersed across numerous institutions\, and there are few opportunities for these individuals to convene and share work. This Series is an effort to connect these scholars and to enrich their shared intellectual life. Second\, the Series aims to be especially valuable to junior faculty and advanced graduate students\, by providing them with feedback from\, and opportunities to interact with\, more established members of the normative business ethics community. To that end\, we hope to have one junior author and one senior author at each session.
\nWorkshop Format
\nThe workshop will meet roughly once each month over the academic year. Any academic or practitioner with an interest in normative business ethics is invited to attend the sessions. Attendees are expected to read the papers in advance\, and to come with feedback for the paper authors. To maximize the opportunity for paper improvement\, authors will not present their papers\; we will instead spend our time together on questions and comments for the author.
\nSessions will be held on Fridays\, beginning at 1:00 pm unless otherwise indicated. We will discuss two to three papers at each session. Attendees are expected to read the papers in advance\, and to come prepared to offer feedback.
\nCall for Abstracts
\nWe invite abstract submissions from \;faculty and post-docs and from graduate students who have advanced to the ABD stage. \;Preferential treatment will be given to those who have not presented work at the Series before\, and we especially welcome submissions from women and under-represented minorities.
\nThe abstract should propose a paper in normative business ethics\, as described above. We ask that submissions offer a fairly detailed sense of the paper without exceeding 500 words.
\nThe sessions will be held on the following dates:
\nOctober 4\, 2019
\nOctober 25\, 2019
\nNovember 22\, 2019
\nFebruary 7\, 2020
\nApril 3\, 2020
\nMay 1\, 2020
\nWe ask that applicants identify three dates\, in order of preference\, at which they would like to present their work.
\nPlease send the abstract to Lauretta Tomasco (tomascol@wharton.upenn.edu) by July 15\, 2019. Individuals will be notified about whether their paper has been selected for presentation by August 15\, 2019.
\nInformation for selected authors
\nThe Zicklin Center is pleased to offer travel funding for paper authors for the session at which their paper will be discussed. Reimbursement for travel expenses is subject to two conditions. By accepting the offer to workshop a paper\, the paper author pledges that:
\n\nFor co-authored papers\, we can ordinarily only provide travel funding for one of the authors\, though other co-authors are welcome to attend.
\nPlease address any questions about the CFA or the workshop to Brian Berkey (bberkey@wharton.upenn.edu)\, Rob Hughes (hughesrc@wharton.upenn.edu)\, or Amy Sepinwall (sepin@wharton.upenn.edu).
