This event through the Consortium on Moral Decision-Making will bring together several scholars in the social sciences and humanities to talk about different disciplinary approaches to the study of "fragmentations" and moral boundaries. The event will be headlined by three keynote talks: philosophers Michael Brownstein (who is a Penn State Philosophy Ph.D. alumnus) and Daniel Kelly on their new book Somebody Should Do Something (on philosophy and social science of collective action), philosopher Matt Lindauer on his new book The Fruitfulness of Normative Concepts (on the practical relevance of philosophical ethics for social life), and policy and Rock Ethics scholar Ben Jones on his new book on the ethics of policing, Protecting Life: The Ethics of Police Deadly Force. Scholars from anthropology, psychology, philosophy, history and religious studies, public policy, and management and organizations will convene to work through and build each other's thinking to highlight the value of collaborative, constructive conversation.

The event will be held downtown at the Innovation Hub, with coffee and refreshments provided, and also live-streamed. We encourage all who are interested in the exciting interface at the boundaries of our fields to check out this event.
