Georgetown University is hosting the Eighth Theistic Ethics Workshop from September 26 to 28, 2024, an event that promises to be a significant gathering for scholars at the intersection of theism and ethics. Organized by Christian Miller of Wake Forest University, Mark Murphy of Georgetown University, and Chris Tucker of William & Mary, this workshop aims to stimulate scholarly discussion and inspire new research directions in the fields of philosophy of religion, meta-ethics, and normative theory. Invited speakers include Matthew Benton of Seattle Pacific University, Ben Bradley of Syracuse University, Amy Flowerree of Texas Tech University, Meghan Sullivan of the University of Notre Dame, and Christian Miller of Wake Forest University, covering a wide array of topics from divine command theories to the ethical implications of religious beliefs.

The workshop not only features invited papers but also opens the floor for submissions from other scholars, encouraging a diverse dialogue on topics such as the role of God in natural law, moral arguments for the existence of a theistic being, and ethical issues within major religions. Interested individuals are invited to submit an abstract and a C.V. by June 1, 2024, for a chance to present their work. The event emphasizes inclusivity in its programming and aims to facilitate a balanced and comprehensive discussion on the various aspects of theistic ethics.

Thanks to generous support from the Robert L. McDevitt, K.S.G., K.C.H.S, and Catherine H. McDevitt, L.C.H.S Chair in Religious Philosophy, authors of selected abstracts will have their expenses fully covered, including travel. This initiative underscores the workshop's commitment to fostering an engaging and accessible platform for academic exchange. For more details or to submit an abstract, interested parties are encouraged to contact Mark Murphy at Mark.Murphy@georgetown.edu, marking this workshop as a pivotal opportunity for advancing dialogue and research in theistic ethics.
