Moral Cognition and Communication in Autism

Call for Contributions 2nd Workshop KEAMA

Paper submission deadline: 31 December 2023.

The Second Workshop of the project 'Knobe Effect in Aesthetic, Moral and Alethic domains' (KEAMA) will take place on 7-8 March 2024 in Valladolid. In this interdisciplinary workshop we will address fundamental concerns related to moral cognition and communication in the context of autism.

The workshop is open to scholars and young researchers in philosophy and psychology to address the following (non-exhaustive) questions:

1. How do autistic subjects ascribe moral intentionality?
2. What impact does autism have on moral decision-making?
3. How do individuals with autism perceive and engage with moral concepts and ethical communication?
4. How does autism affect language development and communication skills?

The KEAMA Project is funded by a 2022 Leonardo Grant for Researchers and Cultural Creators, BBVA Foundation.
