Since the fall of 2015, I have organized, with Teresa Bruno-Niño (Rice) and Joseph Van Weelden (New Caledonia), a group of early career researchers working on topics in the philosophy of welfare and related issues. We meet most weeks via Zoom to discuss drafts of our own work or the published work of others.
The group's main aim is to support the research aims of its membership. We also provide broader career support such as feedback on job-market materials.
The group's research output includes presentations at venues such as the Eastern, Central, and Pacific Division Meetings of the American Philosophical Association, the Saarland Workshop on Welfare, the Vancouver Summer Philosophy Conference, the Madison Metaethics Workshop, the Chapel Hill Normativity Workshop, and the Axiology Workshop as well as publications in journals such as Philosophical Studies, Oxford Studies in Metaethics, Utilitas, the Journal of Ethics & Social Philosophy, Ethical Theory & Moral Practice, the Journal of Medical Ethics, and Midwest Studies in Philosophy.
Email me at akelley [at] lsu.edu to express interest in joining our group. We welcome early career researchers who are interested in talking philosophy in a friendly and supportive environment.
