The overarching aim of this conference is to advance our understanding of the role played by pre-reflective agency within our ethical lives. Explicitly cross-disciplinary, this conference is organised around four sub-themes: 

1.    Habit changeability (and its relationship to perceived affordances)

2.    Pre-reflective convictions of [in]appropriateness and implicit normativity

3.    The digital mediation of everyday habits and modes of agency

4.    Moulding the infrastructure that moulds our habits: design interventions (this includes, but is not limited to, data-reliant infrastructure)

Applications from early career researchers are particularly encouraged.
