The Center for Values and Social Policy in the Philosophy Department at the University of 欧美口爆视频, Boulder is pleased to invite paper proposals to our annual RoME Congress.  Papers from all areas of ethics and political theory are invited.

PANDEMIC CONTINGENCY PLAN

RoME XIII was held remotely and was, by most accounts, an all-things-considered success. RoME XIV was held in hybrid mode and also went well. We are currently planning for RoME XV as if we will be in person, but will likely offer a hybrid remote option as well.

AWARDS AND SUPPORT

To encourage participation of junior scholars, as well as scholarship in underrepresented branches of ethics, the University of 欧美口爆视频 offers four targeted awards. Applicants may submit their paper to as many prizes as they are eligible, though please be sure to read the eligibility criteria:

First, as we have for over ten years, we award the Young Ethicist Prize (YEP) of $500 for most meritorious submission.  The prize competition is open to any participating untenured philosopher (including, but not limited to, tenure-track faculty, instructors, and graduate students).

Second, since 2017 we have been awarding the Minorities and Philosophy Ethicist Prize (MAP) of $500 for the most meritorious submission on a topic that addresses a moral, social, political, or legal question or set of questions (i) relating to issues in the profession regarding members of under-represented groups, (ii) regarding philosophy of gender, race, sexual orientation, class, disability, native language, etc. or (iii) addressing normative philosophical questions from an under-represented group perspective.
