CONFERENCE ON MORALITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY: EXTENDED DEADLINE
The APA and the University of Delaware Philosophy Department are jointly
sponsoring a conference entitled "Morality in the 21st Century", to be
held
at the University of Delaware in October 2001. Flyers about this
conference were distributed at the Eastern Division meeting in New York,
and an announcement was posted on the APA web site around the same time.
Papers were invited from both faculty and students.
The deadline for submission of papers was originally listed as March
31st.
We have now decided to move the deadline back to May 31, 2001. We
welcome
your submissions on any topic within the general area covered by the
conference. For details on where to submit, and for further information
about the conference itself, I append portions of the original
announcement.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The American Philosophical Association and the Philosophy Department at
the
University of Delaware are jointly sponsoring a conference on moral
issues
confronting us in the 21st Century. This conference celebrates the 100th
anniversary of the APA and the 25th anniversary of the APA at the
University of Delaware. The conference is funded by the Baumgardt Fund
of
the APA and the Class of 1955 Ethics Endowment Fund of the University of
Delaware Philosophy Department.
The conference will feature moral issues that are sure to be of central
concern as we enter a new millenium: issues such as internet privacy,
intellectual property, the new world economy and global justice, the
human
genome project and its implications, biotechnology and its ethical
consequences, cloning, genetic engineering, capital punishment and DNA
testing, and a host of related issues.
Among the featured speakers will be:
Martha Nussbaum, Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and
Ethics, University of Chicago
Norman Daniels, Goldthwaite Professor of Rhetoric and Professor of
Medical
Ethics, Tufts University
Hilary Bok, Luce Professor in Bioethics and Moral and Political Theory,
Johns Hopkins University
You are invited to submit papers on any topic within the general area to
be
addressed by the conference. Papers should not exceed 12 pages (25
minutes
reading time), and should be accompanied by an abstract of no more than
200
words. Send papers to: Department of Philosophy, University of Delaware,
24
Kent Way, Newark, DE 19716; please mark your envelope "APA/UDEL
Conference". Papers and abstracts should be received by May 31, 2001.
Selections will be announced during the summer.
The conference will include some papers by figures from outside academia
(e.g., from industry, government or law), as well as a few sessions
specifially devoted to papers by students (graduate or undergraduate).
Students submitting papers should indicate their student status in their
cover letters.
