The Nineteenth Annual Meeting, open to Association members and nonmembers, welcomes persons from various disciplines and professions for discussion of common concerns in practical and professional ethics. The meeting provides an opportunity to meet practitioners, professionals and scholars who share your interests.

Have democratic institutions (e.g., constitutional provisions, federalism, separation of powers doctrine, Bill of Rights) permitted practices that imperil the moral foundations and integrity of democracy itself? Do codes of ethics across public service professions contain significant gaps and overlooked vulnerabilities? These core questions of our field warrant continuous re-examination. A list of current and enduring ethical matters eluding judicious civic stewardship and oversight include, but are not limited to:
This symposium seeks submissions that examine public administration’s obligations in the face of such dilemmas, and to mitigate those found to threaten the ethical foundations of democratic governing institutions.
Proposals for research articles, exemplar profiles, or case studies are welcomed.

The literature of the newly-emerging area of robot ethics frequently mentions that one benefit of trying to build moral robots is what we stand to learn about ethics in the case of human beings. Yet, there is little mention of any specifics. The purpose of this special issue, "Robot Ethics and Human Ethics," is to address this matter explicitly and ask what we can learn about human ethics by our attempt to build moral machines. To this end, papers are requested that explore various facets of this question, including, among others, what insight robot ethics might cast on:
We are also interested in papers that address whether the attempt to build moral machines is demonstrating (or will demonstrate) that human ethics requires something well beyond the capacity of machines, or whether, perhaps, this very attempt is exposing weaknesses in our existing conceptions of (human) ethics that might be repairable following insights that arise in the process of experimenting with machines. To be clear, this issue is not dedicated to papers primarily about how to build moral machines, save insofar that mention of such is necessary for illuminating human morality.
The editors at Ethics and Information Technology are seeking articles for a special issue in this area. Submissions will be double-blind refereed for relevance to the theme as well as academic rigor and originality. High quality articles not deemed to be sufficiently relevant to the special issue may be considered for publication in a subsequent non-themed issue.
Closing date for submissions: September 1st, 2009
To submit your paper, please use the online submission system, to be found at www.editorialmanager.com/etin
There will be a workshop on this topic hosted at Delft University of Technology when the special issue comes out. Please contact the special guest editor for more information, Anthony Beavers afbeavers@gmail.com Or the managing editor, Noëmi Manders-Huits N.L.J.L.Manders-Huits@tudelft.nl
Ethics and Information Technology (ETIN) is the major journal in the field of moral and political reflection on Information Technology. Its aim is to advance the dialogue between moral philosophy and the field of information technology in a broad sense, and to foster and promote reflection and analysis concerning the ethical, social and political questions associated with the adoption, use, and development of IT.
The University of Montana will again offer a five-day short course, Theory and Skills of Ethics Teaching, June 30-July 3, 2009 in Missoula, MT. The class is intended to help ethics instructors who work in traditional and non-traditional settings, develop goals, materials and strategies for teaching in their particular venues. An online segment of the course will begin June 1, with the 30-hour in-residence week completing the experience. The course may be taken as a workshop (which will cost around $500) or for 3 graduate credits (around $800). Final figures will be available soon from UM. The class will end by noon on Friday, July 3 to facilitate travel for the holiday weekend.
Deni Elliott, the Eleanor Poynter Jamison Chair in Media Ethics and Press Policy at the University of South Florida, St. Petersburg, will teach this course. She was the previous director for the Ethics Center at the University of Montana and director of the nation's first graduate degree program in teaching ethics.
Please contact Prof. Elliott elliott@mail.usf.edu or the University of Montana Ethics Center http://www.umt.edu/ethics for more information.
The Case Research Journal will publish a special issue on corporate social responsibility and business ethics, to be guest-edited by Professor Anne T. Lawrence of San Jose State University.
The deadline for submission to this special issue is December 1, 2009, for publication in 2010.
The Case Research Journal, published quarterly by the North American Case Research Association (NACRA) and XanEdu Custom Publishing, is dedicated to enhancing case research and publishing exceptional teaching cases. Founded in 1980, the CRJ is double-blind refereed and accepts about fifteen percent of manuscripts submitted. Further information about the journal is available at www.NACRA.net by selecting the Case Research Journal link.
The domain of the special issue is broadly defined as teaching cases in corporate social responsibility and ethics. Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to):
For this issue, the CRJ will publish only decision or issue-focused cases based on original, primary research.
Focus: Cases should be focused on a decision, issue, or problem facing an individual, an organization, or a group of organizations. After studying the case, students should be able to put themselves into the situation and formulate and defend alternative courses of action.
Methods: Cases should be based on original, primary research. Examples of such research include (but are not limited to):
The CRJ does not publish cases based solely on secondary sources, such as journalistic accounts. It also does not publish fictionalized, composite, or hypothetical cases. Occasionally, the CRJ publishes papers about case writing and teaching. Such papers will be considered for this issue if they are relevant to the special topic domain.
An Instructor’s Manual (teaching note) must accompany each case submission. The IM should follow the guidelines outlined at: https://www.nacra.net/crj/Pages/edpol.php5
Authors are encouraged (but not required) to submit cases to the North American Case Research 2009 annual meeting, to be held in Santa Cruz, California at the Chaminade Resort & Spa, on October 29-31, 2009. This will enable authors to receive and respond to feedback on their case prior to submission to the special issue. For details, visit: http://www.nacra.net/meeting2009.
