About the topic
This is a high-level course primarily aimed at PhD-students who already have some background in ethics. The aim of the course is three-fold. First, the course provides insight into recent work in practical philosophy, including reflection on influential moral theories and moral methodology, as well as more applied topics such as digital ethics, ethics of economics and feminist ethics and the key principles guiding those debates. Second, this course aims to address how theories, methodologies and principles apply to moral conflicts and challenges in real life. Third, much attention is paid to teaching participants to connect their own research projects to these current developments within moral theory, as well as to how to best present one’s research in writing. The course will also offer sessions on navigating the academic job market and doing public philosophy. The overarching aim of the course is to help participants to improve their skills as researchers in philosophical ethics.
