Call for Papers
The UCCI presents the 2014 Caribbean Conference with the theme, “Towards a Corruption-Free Caribbean: Ethics, Values and Morality.” UCCI is collaborating with Canada’s Carleton University’s Centre for Values and Ethics (COVE); the Department of Government of the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, Jamaica; and the National Integrity Action (NIA) of Jamaica.
This conference aims to reflect on various aspects of values and ethics, as they relate not only to the function of Caribbean governments and political parties, but also to the role of every institution – whether educational, religious, or social — across the region.
The importance of this conference lies in the principle that values and ethical philosophies are intrinsic to every human activity. Interrogations of these mores have consequences for the policies and practices of public institutions at all levels. In turn, the choices about values in these institutions impact individuals, families, and, indeed, nations. One of the most important exercises, therefore, is to deliberate thoughtfully about values, making sure that decisions are accordingly responsive to the voices of reason and humanity.
Abstracts are now being accepted from those who wish to take part in one of 2014’s largest landmark events. Contact: Dr Stephanie Fullerton-Cooper – [email protected]
