Important Announcement
The Well-Being & Happiness Fortnight has been cancelled. Future updates about this event will be posted here.

This special event was made possible by generous support from the John S. Jemison, Jr. Visiting Professorship in the Humanities, Dean Robert E. Palazzo, and the UAB College of Arts & Science.

While there is some work that touches on the significance of mental illness to responsibility, and a few extended treatments of particular disorders, this only scratches the surface. Most of the research has been on the appropriateness of blame for individuals with psychopathy or those grappling with addiction, which excludes a wide variety of other rather different psychopathologies. Our workshop seeks to expand the conversation and push the research in new directions.

The Big Idea series is meant to introduce a topic of general interest and share a philosophical perspective on the matter. After a brief 15-minute presentation on the topic, the speaker fields questions from the audience. Free and open to the public.
