This year's conference will be held on two consecutive Wednesday evenings.

This is the first in a series of annual cross-disciplinary workshops called Food, Ethics, X.  For 2020, X = Psychology.  Questions include: How does the psychology of eating interact with ethical reflection on what we ought to eat?  Which psychological factors lead people to keep or violate their own ethical food commitments?  How does an individual’s sense of cultural and familial identity influence their ethical reflection about food?  What changes people’s attitudes about the ethics of food?  What role does reason or philosophical argument play in changing people's food choices?  Can a class on food ethics influence the way students eat?  Participants include psychologists, philosophers, and sociologists from the US, UK, and Australia.

Speakers:
Brock Bastian, School of Psychological Sciences, University of Melbourne
Krishnendu Ray, Chair, Department of Nutrition and Food Studies, New York University

Panel:
Matthew Ruby, Department of Psychology, La Trobe University
Paul Rozin, Department of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania
Molly Crockett, Department of Psychology, Yale University
