Theme: Public Ethics and Shared Spaces<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shared spaces are integral to fostering public life. The aim of this conference is to focus on ethical issues surrounding shared spaces \u2013 physical, social, political, and digital. This event will aim to illuminate how best to define, create, and protect shared spaces, and the other social goods and values that these spaces foster. Understanding the ethics of public space in this way is an interdisciplinary project, and we invite submissions from graduate students in philosophy, policy, political science, economy, sociology, anthropology, history, gender studies, critical race studies, human rights, film studies, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A defining feature of public life is that it occurs within spaces created and cultivated for it. We create spaces by establishing boundaries \u2014 be they physical borders, cultural norms, moral codes, or digital platforms \u2014 that give specific meaning to the actions and choices that occur within them. Talking about shared spaces means talking about the ways in which boundaries create and contextualize these domains of human activity. As scholars, policy analysts, and engaged citizens, some of our key aims are to understand how we share spaces, how shared spaces can be made more accessible, what barriers exist to sharing spaces together well, and how we can ensure the safety of these spaces and the individuals that share them or seek to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
