CALL FOR PAPERS 

Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum 25th Annual Conference 

Clemson University, October 3-5, 2024  

CONFERENCE THEME: 

Nurturing Democratic Responsibility in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) 

The 25th Annual Conference of the Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum brings together educators, scholars,  practitioners, and other experts in the field of ethics education to share best practices, innovative teaching  methodologies, pedagogical approaches, and compelling scholarship that will engage students and others in  critical ethical reasoning about important and timely issues. 

The 2024 conference will explore the complex relationship between democracy, responsibility, and the rapid  advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. The conference will examine the ethical dimensions of  AI's integration into democratic systems and analyze the responsible deployment of AI in shaping and reshaping  democratic processes. Some topics of special interest this year include: ethical discourse and civility; civic  engagement and democratic participation; bias, fairness, and justice; and trust, transparency, and accountability.  Key objectives of the conference are to equip educators with the necessary tools to cultivate responsible and  engaged citizens committed to the principles of democracy, and to discuss and assess ethical challenges  concerning the integration of AI in democratic processes, as well as to explore strategies to address these  challenges in the classroom and beyond. 

The 2024 SEAC Conference Directors are Edyta Kuzian, Dan Wueste (Clemson University) and Jason Scott Robert (Arizona State University).
