This is a call for abstracts for the third biennial New Orleans Workshop on Agency and Responsibility (NOWAR), to be held in New Orleans, LA at the Intercontinental Hotel on November 5-7, 2015. Abstracts are welcome on any topic having to do with agency and/or responsibility. Perspectives beyond just those from moral philosophy (e.g., psychology, legal theory, neuroscience, economics, metaphysics, and more) are welcome. (To see more about the workshop’s general aims and other details, follow this link: http://murphy.tulane.edu/events/new-orleans-workshop-on-agency-and-responsiblity.
Abstracts should be no more than 3 double-spaced pages and are due no later than March 15, 2015. They do NOT need to be prepared for blind review. Please send abstracts by e-mail to David Shoemaker: [email protected]. A program committee will evaluate submissions and make decisions by early May. The authors of all accepted abstracts will be expected to provide drafts of their essays for distribution to NOWAR attendees four weeks prior to the workshop, present their ideas at the workshop, and then commit the final versions of their essays (subject to external review) to the fourth volume of Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility (which is expected to be published in early 2017). Those who presented at the second NOWAR (in 2013) are ineligible to present at the third (in 2015).
The workshop, sponsored by the generous support of the Murphy Institute at Tulane University, will involve 11 presentations (including two keynote speakers), from which will be drawn the papers contributing to Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility.
Keynote Speakers, 2015:
Julia Driver, Professor of Philosophy, Washington University, St. Louis
Derk Pereboom, Susan Linn Sage Professor in Philosophy and Ethics; Stanford H. Taylor '50 Chair of the Sage School, Cornell University
