"Inspiring Earth Ethics: linking values and action", Brisbane 23-24 November 2017
Please click here to go back to the main webpage for the Inspiring Earth Ethics Conference.
We invite all prospective participants to be creative with your proposals and we welcome academic papers, inter active workshops, discussion groups, experiential activities and other forms of expression or ritual. Although we have invited some speakers in advance, the final program will depend upon what you submit.
The program will be crafted with an eye towards engaged and experiential learning that directly relates to our conference’s guiding question: how do we inspire and build Earth ethics in Australian society?

- Perspectives and approaches from First Nations Peoples
- Earth-centred ethics and philosophy
- Environmental education
- Environmental psychology
- Faith, eco-spirituality and eco-theology
- Arts and creative imagining (Hope and resilience in the Anthropocene)
