Summer Institute in Moral Psychology

The Institute will be four-weeks-long and comprised of 3.5-hour seminar-style sessions, four mornings a week. There will be 14 visiting faculty presenters, including many of the most distinguished figures in moral psychology, as well as presentations from the co-directors. Faculty will preside over one session, leading discussion of their research. Additionally, a portion of each session will be devoted to pedagogy, and the integration of moral psychology research into classroom teaching. Each week, the 5th morning session will be participant-directed, providing participants opportunity to present and discuss their own work. In addition to the morning sessions, participants will be offered four afternoon workshops on method, covering (1) experimental design, (2) statistical analysis, (3) research ethics, (4) philosophical method. The co-directors will also hold regular office hours and organize social events to provide occasion for the informal exchange of ideas.
