Interdisciplinary Summer Character Seminar
A two-week summer seminar will be held at Wake Forest University in June of 2013. The title of the seminar will be "Character: New Perspectives and Empirical Discoveries," and will consist of the Project Leader (Christian Miller), 15 participants and 4 outside leaders who would attend the seminar for three days and lead discussion. The participants will be graduate students and pre-tenure faculty from any field of study. The main purpose of the seminar is to educate participants about recent work in the psychology of character and its relevance to philosophical and theological thinking about human behavior, so that they can better advance future research on character themselves and also improve their teaching in the area. Applicants will be chosen on the basis of demonstrated interest and likelihood of future productivity. Each selected seminar member will receive a stipend for attending, plus travel and lodging costs.
The seminar would be timed to end with the start of the Final Research Colloquia, and all seminar participants will be expected to attend the colloquia.
