Alice Ievins and Ryan Williams are organising a workshop in Cambridge next year on the topic of ‘Moral and Ethical Worlds in Confinement’. The workshop will bring together a network of international and interdisciplinary researchers to develop ways of thinking about ‘what matters’ to people who live and work in prison and prison-like institutions, and to explore the source and nature of their moral and ethical worlds. The workshop will involve eight speakers presenting papers, which we hope will form the basis of a journal special issue to be published in 2023. More details and the ‘call for papers’ are available here: https://moralworlds.wordpress.com/. A small amount of funding will be available to support the travel of students and early career researchers, and the workshop will be ‘hybrid’ so people can attend online if that is easier for them.
If you cannot attend the workshop but are interested in the project, please do be in touch with one of the organisers, as we are hoping to build a network of researchers working in this area.
