The first Roots of Responsibility workshop will be held on 14–15 December 2019. The theme is Responsibility, Knowledge, and Belief. This event is jointly sponsored by Dr Alexander Greenberg’s Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship project, Belief in Philosophy and the Criminal Law.
We thank all those who have registered their interest to attend this workshop on Eventbrite. As of the end of November, more people have registered than we will have room to accommodate. You can still register, but you will be put on the waiting list.
The titles and abstracts of the six papers that will be discussed are available here.
We are very much looking forward to this event, and to seeing all the participants whom we have been able to invite!
