| Details: | For the first time, the Ethics Institute and the Netherlands Research School for Practical Philosophy (OZSE) will organize an five-day winter school on Ethical Theory and Moral Practice. This intensive course, which is sponsored by NWO, will be held from 22-26 March 2010 at the Woodbrookershuis in Barchem (NL). The course, open for PhD students and research master students, aims to give an overview of current debates in practical philosophy, with a special emphasis on the role of different normative theories in applied contexts. Also, different methodological approaches to ethics will be discussed. The course is structured to be especially useful for PhD students working in applied ethics. Preparation As this is a short and intensive course, active preparation by the students is required. Before the beginning of the winter school, participants living in the Netherlands will be invited for a preparatory meeting in which the programme and preparatory requirements are discussed. Details regarding the date and location of this meeting will follow – those who live abroad will be informed about the preparatory requirements via e-mail. Before the beginning of the winter school, participants are expected to write brief discussion papers for two sessions, and to study the literature selected for the course. During the course, all participants will give a brief presentation on (part of) their PhD project. After the winter school students are expected to write a longer paper on one of the normative theories discussed. Costs Participants pay a contribution of 419 euros for meals and accommodation, and are expected to make their own travel arrangements. Participants for whom it is impossible to have the accommodation costs reimbursed by their own university can apply for a partial stipend of the Netherlands Research School for Practical Philosophy. How to apply for the winter school? Please send an e-mail to winterschool2010@phil.uu.nl with your contact details (email address, telephone number and postal address), a brief description of your academic background (maximum 300 words), and a brief motivation for taking part in the course. Also, mention whether you want to apply for a stipend. When the number of applications exceeds the number of places available, we will give priority to PhD students of the Netherlands Research School for Practical Philosophy. You will be notified within two weeks after the deadline for application whether your application has been accepted. |
