The
Second International Conference on Teaching Applied and Professional Ethics in
Higher Education will take place at Roehampton University, London from 30th
August to 1st September 2005 . The theme is Ethics in a Virtual
World.
The
scope of the conference is broad. Papers and other conference contributions are
invited on any aspect of teaching applied and professional ethics in higher
education; and on any ethical issue that gives rise to questions about how the
issue needs to be addressed in higher education. Contributions that address
issues arising in the virtual world are particularly welcome but the conference
will remain broad in its scope of ethics.
Proposals
are invited for papers and other types of academic event.
-
Proposals for papers should take the form of an abstract not exceeding 500
words. Full papers when presented should take no more than 25 minutes delivery
time leaving up to 15 minutes for discussion in 40 minute
sessions.
-
Proposals for other types of academic event will also be
welcome.
An
innovation for the 2005 conference will be the inclusion of facilitated
discussions introduced by ten minute introductions. Proposals to facilitate such
round table discussions should include:-
-
full text of the ten minute introduction;
-
brief descriptions of the process of the event including the manner of opening
discussion, questions to be posed, facilitation of discussion,
closure.
Proposals
are also invited for other formats for exchanging ideas in an academic context.
These might include demonstrations of specific pedagogies such as the use of
debates in teaching ethics. Details of what is proposed should be
described.
The date for
submitting abstracts has now been extended until the 31st
March. Abstracts
for papers must not exceed 500 words.
