The Future of Practical Ethics Conference - Call For Papers
IDEA The Ethics Centre at the University of Leeds, is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025-26. As part of our celebrations we will be holding a large conference on the future of practical ethics.
Simon Kirchin, Centre Director of IDEA The Ethics Centre, has recently issued a second call for papers for the Future of Practical Ethics conference to be hosted by IDEA on 8th -10th September 2025.

• environmental ethics
