It is about applied and professional ethics and this is the core theme of the conference. To facilitate achieving this objective, professional and academic streams have been organised for the presentation of papers at the conference, including but not restricted to, the following themes: * Bioethics, * Moral Philosophy, * Political Philosophy, * Public Policy, * Media Ethics, * Police Ethics, and * Business Ethics There is an opportunity to add to these topics if a number of papers are submitted exploring issues pertinent to a profession or theme [please contact the conference convenor for details]. Papers We welcome all newcomers and encourage papers / research endeavours to be presented. We also provide a stepping stone to publication in the AJPAE if you wish to pursue peer reviewed publication with the formal journal of the AAPAE. Presenting at the conference provides you with feedback and critique of the work presented which can then shape a better submission for the peer review to take place. The conference will have both a refereed and a non-refereed stream * Refereed track papers are to be submitted consistent with Australian Journal of Professional and Applied Ethics author guidelines. Abstracts and full papers from the refereed track will be published in a Conference Proceedings CD. Authors should submit a short biography of no more than 100 words and an abstract of no more than 200 words with their paper. Papers for this track must be no more than 5000 words, and should be submitted to the Conference Convenor by 9th April 2010. An invitation to submit the manuscript to the AJPAE will follow after proceedings of the conference. * Non-refereed track papers should be proposed by way of an abstract of approx. 250 words to the Conference Convenor by 9th April 2010. Presenters in this category could clarify that their paper is intended for the non-refereed stream in the Subject line in the email submission of their abstract. Workshops Innovative workshops have been introduced to the conference program this year, introducing new approaches to either: (a) Teaching ethics or (b) Ethical leadership. Submissions for this category on either of these topics should include a 1-2 page discussion of the proposed demonstration. Include content and goals; format (e.g., demonstration of teaching materials, role play); target audience; and value of your presentation for teaching ethics or ethical leadership. The deadline for submission to this category is 9th April 2010. Author's Sessions Another exciting addition to our program is: "A Session with an Author" where authors are encouraged to submit their book/s on professional and applied ethics for group discussion and/or review over lunch or a dedicated time slot. Submissions for this session may be made by an author or others for a session which critically evaluates a recent book in practical or professional ethics. The proposal can be in the form of a panel, including formal papers or a roundtable discussion. The submission should indicate the title of the book and date of publication as well as all the panelists if applicable. A copy of the book must be submitted for review. Authors may also propose a "Lunch with an Author" session. Books must be related to the Association's interests and goals, and published within the last two years. Please submit three copies of a 1-2 page description of your book, and supply a copy of your book. Annual Meeting attendees will have the opportunity to sign up to attend Lunch with an Author with the author of their choice on allocated days. Please note that authors pay for their own meals. The deadline for submission of a proposal for a book review in either category [Session with an Author or Lunch with an Author] is 9th April, 2010.
