On Saturday, April 18 the University of Delaware is hosting the 36th annual GPPC Undergraduate Conference featuring talks by students from Temple, Haverford, Swarthmore, Penn, St. Joseph’s, St. John’s, Georgia Southern, Rowan, Seton Hall, West Chester, Danville Area CC, and UD. The conference runs 10am-6:30pm in Gore Hall 116 and 103. There will be three sessions of student talks divided into parallel programs. Session 1 runs 10am-12pm, Session 2 runs 2:30-4pm, Session 3 runs 4:30-6:30pm. Carolina Sartorio (Rutgers) will deliver a keynote talk at 1pm. Attendance is free and open to the public.
Keynote is titled "Responsibility for Consequences". Abstract:
We seem to be morally responsible for some of the
consequences of our actions just as much as for the actions
themselves. Although the topic of responsibility for
consequences has been quite extensively discussed in the
literature on moral luck, the nature of the phenomenon itself
has been under-analyzed. In this talk I first give the sketch of an
account of responsibility for consequences. I then discuss
implications of the account for some puzzle cases and for the
problem of collective harms.

I haven't seen it on our official social media channels, but Temple Philosophy is hosting L.A. Paul as our 2025-2026 distinguished speaker this Friday, April 17, 3-5 p.m. in Mazur Room 24, and the public is invited.

A poster showing L.A. Paul's face, and the title The Paradox of Transformation, followed by this abstract: "Transformative changes happen. They can be chosen or unchosen, wanted or unwanted, good or bad. They can occur as part of ordinary life transitions as when one becomes a parent, marries, emigrates or divorces, and they can occur in extraordinary circumstances, such as when one experiences a war, a serious physical accident, an invasive neurosurgical procedure, or cognitive change due to Alzheimer's. The talk will develop a conceptual framework that characterizes the profound and paradoxical nature of the epistemic and personal transformation that such experiences can bring."
