A Mini Conference: War, Development and Global Justice
Organizer: Nigel Dower
William E. Morgan Endowed Chair in Liberal Arts at CSU, and
Professor Emeritus, Aberdeen
Since the small conference Nigel Dower organized two years ago on 'global ethics' proved successful, he is organizing a similar one this year.
It is proposed to hold a small inter-disciplinary conference on the above theme. Presentations will be given by some outside invited speakers (including David Crocker who was a Faculty member at CSU for many years) and a number of faculty/students on campus. The conference will run from Friday evening to Sunday lunch-time/afternoon.
Speakers will give presentations on various aspects of the theme. They can speak on any one of the themes or on the interconnections between any two or all of the themes. Ideally the range of papers should include a number of papers looking at the connections. If colleagues in the College/University wish to have more information or are interested in offering a paper, please contact Nigel Dower.
