Fairness and the moral mind

It is well established in behavioral economics and other social sciences that people are motivated by more than narrow self-interest, but our understanding of the nature and complexity of the moral mind is still fragmented and incomplete. There is significant individual heterogeneity in terms of both how much weight people assign to moral considerations and what is considered morally relevant in any given situation. The aim of the present workshop is to present new experimental work by young scholars on how to understand the moral mind. The workshop is organized by Professor Bertil Tungodden and funded by his ERC Advanced Grant “Fairness and the moral mind”.

Please send an email to Bertil Tungodden with your paper by October 28 if you would like to present it in the workshop. Presentations are restricted to PhD students or researchers that completed their PhD less than five years ago, but everyone is welcome to join the workshop.

 

Date and time (GMT + 1): November 4, 15.00-19.00
