CFP: Applied Ethics in an Era of Emerging Technologies

We invite papers written towards the conference theme of emerging technologies and will give these preference, but we also welcome papers in applied ethics, broadly construed, that address political, economic, social, and cultural issues in applied ethics beyond the conference theme.   This includes, but is not limited to:  

meta/normative ethics, bio/medical ethics, engineering ethics, ethics of science and technology, information ethics, environmental ethics, business ethics, feminist/gender/sexuality ethics, and international/global ethics.

Those participants who wish to present papers are requested to submit a 150–300 word abstract in a MS-Word file (.doc) to CAEP ([email protected]) by Sunday, June 30, 2013.       Presented papers may be considered for publication in both our print and electronic journal upon submission and review.      

Up to ten travel awards of between 20,000 and 30,000 JPY (equivalent to approx. 200–300 USD) are available for overseas graduate students and non-tenured scholars who present papers. The grant application form is available from the CAEP webpage:  http://ethics.let.hokudai.ac.jp/ja/files/grantapplicationformiaec13.doc
