AELA is pleased to be working in partnership with the AAPAE (Australian Association for Professional and Applied Ethics) to co-host an exciting national conference in May 2025 in Brisbane.

Conference Call for Proposals are now open!

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

We live in a time of rapid social, economic and environmental change and disruption. Now more than ever we need to build creative visions for our future and apply principled and ethical decision making and action.

Over three days, AELA and the AAPAE will bring together people from diverse fields of research and practice, to explore how we can build ethical futures in a changing world.

CONFERENCE THEMES

The AELA/AAPAE Conference will explore themes including the following:

  • Indigenous ethics, decision-making and governance systems
  • Earth-centred ethics, law and governance
  • The role of ethics in the future of private sector and corporate governance
  • Ethical attention to place and relationship with local culture and environment in a changing world
  • The significance of care as an ongoing moral response
  • The connections between ethics, spirituality and earth care
  • Navigating green-on-green ethical challenges (where environmental values require us to protect local ecologies and develop renewable energy industries)
  • Changes to ethics and values that we need, to ensure a safe and livable future

The 2025 conference will focus on these and related questions.

The Call for Papers will be announced in August, and key timelines will be shared in August/September 2024
