Supported by The Bowater Trust, Deakin University.
 
Call for Papers

Following the highly successful inaugural conference held in Auckland in 2011 submissions are now being invited for the 2nd ABEN conference on business, ethics and business ethics.  Bringing academics, critics and practitioners together to discuss and debate the nature, intent, effects and futures of business ethics in Australasia and beyond, the ABEN conference is developing into a key forum in the region for reflective, engaged and critical work in the area.  The location for this year's conference is the Metropole Hotel and Conference centre, on bohemian Brunswick Street, in the cosmopolitan city of Melbourne.  Once again, the conference is linked with publication opportunities in business ethics and professional ethics journals (The Journal of Business Ethics Education and the Australian Journal of Applied and Professional Ethics).  Like the wider network from which it originates, the ABEN conference is inclusive – welcoming submissions that explore business ethics from a range of theoretical, empirical and practical positions and perspectives.  The following is a non-exhaustive list of this year's conference streams.
·         Business Ethics in the Region: (chair Dr Tracy Wilcox, University of New South Wales)
·         Business Ethics Education (chair Dr Jan Schapper, La Trobe University)   
·         Ethics and the Employee (chair Dr Michelle Greenwood, Monash University)
·         CSR and Sustainability (chair Dr Sara Walton, University of Otago)
·         Business Ethics and Human Rights (chair Professor Tom Campbell, Charles Sturt University)
