COVE2015Poster

7th Annual Graduate Student Conference

March 28-29, 2015

Dunton Tower 2017, Carleton University

The COVE conference invites engagement and discussion about how ethics plays a role in all academic disciplines. Presenters and attendees will be given the opportunity to explore various approaches to ethics and to see how important ethics is as an area of academia that crosses into all faculties.

This conference benefits graduate students by giving them a forum in which they can discuss their research with colleagues from other faculties at Carleton, as well as other universities. Attendees are invited to comment on papers presented, in a manner which may be helpful for further research. Students also have the opportunity to network with others working in ethics, regardless of whether it is applied or metaethics.

The theme for 2015 is Changing the World Through Philosophy.

Our keynote speaker, on Saturday afternoon, will be Vida Panitch, speaking on:

“Capitalist Acts Among Consenting Adults: What (if Anything) is Wrong with Commodifying the Body?”

Everyone is welcome to attend the entire conference, 9-5, both Saturday and Sunday.

The program and order of speakers is here.
