PPE Conferences

The annual PPE conference supports the journal PPE: Politics, Economics, and Philosophy. Papers presented at the conference are published in the journal, subject to anonymous peer review. Published by Sage Publications in association with The Murphy Institute, the journal is co-edited by Murphy Institute faculty member Jonathan Riley, a founding editor of the journal. 

Faculty Seminars

Organized by the Tulane Philosophy Department, these seminars are a series of workshops where CE Faculty Fellows and distinguished guest speakers present works in progress on ethics, political philosophy, political theory, moral psychology, the philosophy of law, and intellectual history. Papers are distributed one week beforehand to the participants who read the paper and prepare discussion questions for the presenter.

Each year, the Center for Ethics invites distinguished academics to present their current work at the Center for Ethics Public Lecture. Since 2001, the Center for Ethics has hosted more than 200 guest speakers.
