About

The Social Ethics and Normative Theory-Marta Sutton Weeks Research Workshop brings together philosophers, political scientists, legal scholars, psychologists, and researchers from various disciplines that are interested in normative theory. We are sponsored by the Stanford Humanities Center Research Workshop Program, which is sustained by a grant from the Mellon Foundation.

Format

The workshop consists of graduate students as well as faculty members. We discuss work in progress from members of the workshop as well as guests. Members of the workshop are expected to read the paper before the meeting and be ready to discuss it. Access to online papers is restricted to members of the workshop. If you would like to join the workshop, please send me an e-mail with your name, affiliation and e-mail address.
