Venue: Department of Greek and Latin Philology, University of Zurich

Moral concerns over outcomes perceived as “unjust” or “unfair” are powerful justifications underpinning political preferences and behavior. While we know such moral justifications exist, we still struggle to unpack them in ways that help explain the role morality plays in shaping political behavior. This workshop brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to discuss working papers related to this topic and identify future avenues of research.

Format of the workshop

In each session one paper is discussed. Papers and presentation slides will be circulated in advance. The conference convener will start the day with a short introduction laying out what she sees as the opportunities for interdisciplinary work in this area of research. The day will end with an informal open discussion on next steps.
