Trinity Workshop on Moral Status

Much has been written on moral status the past few decades, and there's an increasing emphasis on questions surrounding marginal cases (e.g., animals, artificial beings). The aim of this workshop is to bring together scholars engaged in different facets of this topic to discuss and get feedback on new ideas from others deeply engaged in the topic.

This workshop is the first in a series of five as a part of the ERC funded project 'Corporate Moral Progress' (with Kenneth Silver as the PI). While the project itself is centrally within business ethics, and the workshop will take place in the Trinity Business School, the workshop is a broader attempt to push the frontiers of the field on moral status and to find ways to bring that work to bear on the question of corporate personhood.
