Professor of Religious Studies Heidi Ravven gave an invited paper, "How Jewish Philosophy Could Help Standard Philosophical Ethics Out of its Dead End," at the American Philosophical Association in late December in Washington, D.C. Ravven's paper was part of a panel on Ethics and Jewish Philosophy, organized by the Academy for Jewish Philosophy.
Also, in January Ravven visited the Ford Foundation in New York City for a two-day meeting with other Ford Foundation grantees who make up the Progressive Values and Religion Group. Ravven presented her progress on her current project, What Happened to Ethics? Rethinking Ethics Without Free Will.
