2nd Annual Brigham Young University
English Graduate Student Conference
The Ethics of Identity
February 26, 2000 — BYU Campus, Provo, Utah
Ethics has gained new resonance in literary studies during the past
dozen years, even if it has not—at least yet—become the
paradigm-defining concept. —Lawrence Buell, “In Pursuit of Ethics.”
PMLA 114.1 (1999): 7.
This conference proposes to explore how ethics shapes identities,
communities, and cultures; how different ethics compare and interact;
how one ethic can or cannot critique another; and how ethics work in
literature and literary criticism.

Cultural Studies, Pedagogy, Language, and Creative Writing.
Topics could include:
Postmodern Ethics
Ethnicity and Identity
