While we’re on the topic of CFP’s for August 2008, let me announce the fact that we are starting a new summer ethics conference here at the University of Colorado at Boulder. (I say ‘we’, but I can take no credit for it — all the work has been done by Alastair Norcross and Ben Hale.) Ben Bradley is such a hero that I bet if he breaks another bone at the BSPC 2008, he’ll still be the first to arrive at the Boulder conference, which starts the next day. See below for details.
