The-Normative-Business-Ethics-Workshop-Series

The Normative Business Ethics Workshop Series of the Carol and Lawrence Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research The Carol and Lawrence Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, convenes a regular works-inprogress series for scholars working in normative business ethics (NBE) In particular, we are interested in papers pursuing business ethics issues from a normative perspective, or papers in moral or political philosophy with implications for the market, distributive justice, labor relations, the role of business in society, etc The series is part of an effort to foster, and increase the prominence of, normative business ethics in the academy and the public sphere This particular initiative has two key objectives: First, it endeavors to provide a regular forum for scholars working on business ethics from a normative perspective The community of such scholars is relatively small, and dispersed across numerous institutions, and there are few opportunities for these individuals to convene and share work This series is an effort to connect these scholars, and enrich their shared intellectual life Second, the series aims to be especially valuable to junior faculty, by providing them with feedback from, and opportunities to interact with, more established members of the normative business ethics community To that end, we hope to have one junior author and one senior author at each session The workshop meets over the academic year for a total of sessions Anyone with an interest in normative business ethics is invited to attend the sessions The sessions will be structured so as to maximize the opportunity for paper improvement through the comments of a community of scholars committed to normative business ethics To that end, authors will not present at the session for which their paper has been assigned Instead, those gathered will go around the table and each participant will offer a few points of feedback on the paper An author whose paper is selected for presentation in a given semester will bear an obligation to attend the other two sessions that semester or to send feedback via email to the authors whose papers are presented at any session that she is unable to attend In this way, each author will be assured of a good number of responses to her paper
