POSTPONED
On 23 May 2020, a one-day conference in honour of Prof. Brad Hooker will be held at the University of Reading, in England.
There will be four papers presented. Two will be by our confirmed keynote speakers:
- Roger Crisp (Oxford)
- Fiona Woolard (Southampton)
Another two slots will be selected from this call for abstracts. Please consider submitting an anonymous abstract if you have work relevant to Brad Hooker's interests, most importantly: Rule-consequentialist ethics, Fairness, Moral Desert, Needs, Personal Good, and History of Twentieth Century Moral Philosophy. We particularly welcome papers from graduate students and others without permanent philosophical employment.
Please submit an anonymous 500-1000 word abstract for a 45 minute talk, preferably making clear how the paper's topic relates to the work of Brad Hooker.
Note that we expect to have commenters for the talks, so if accepted you should expect to have a written version of the paper available at least two weeks in advance, in early May. Papers from this event will be published in a special issue of 'Ratio', though speakers will have many months to revise their papers before submitting to the journal.
All questions about submissions should be emailed to the organisers, Luke Elson and Charlotte Newey. You can reach them at bradfest2020@gmail.com for more information. The conference webpage with more information is at philevents.org/event/show/77218.
