July 1/Aug. 1: CFP for Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum Annual Conference

Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum
24th Annual Conference on Ethics Across the Curriculum James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia
October 1-4, 2023

2023 SEAC Conference Theme: Designing Just Futures

We welcome submissions addressing any aspect of teaching ethics across the curriculum. For this year’s conference, we have a special interest in papers that examine ethical issues emergent in the interrelationships of humans and technology. In particular, as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) become more ubiquitous, how might they entail reconfigurations of everyday life, relationships, and even our understanding of (human) nature? AI is already relevant and impactful in ways that raise questions about its social, economic, political, educational, religious, and cultural implications. Possible topic areas might include: AI in scientific research; AI and creativity; AI in automation; AI in learning analytics and higher education; AI in criminal justice; AI and surveillance; the future of work; deep fakes and political manipulation; or academic dishonesty in an era of AI.

Directors:
