CONFERENCE THEME
This conference challenges participants to reflect on the ways in which moral education informs and is in turn informed by faith and political perspectives in a diverse and complex global community. How can moral education influence our deepest aspirations for universal peace and justice, and how can moral education strengthen old and new democracies around the world?
The annual meeting of the Association of Moral Education will be held at the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana. The meetings will take place at McKenna Hall on the campus of the University of Notre Dame, and in other venues on and near campus. There are hotel accommodations across the street from McKenna Hall in the Morris Inn on the Notre Dame campus, and in newly constructed hotels within short walking or shuttle distance of the conference center. Details will be available soon with specific conference information and updates.

KOHLBERG MEMORIAL LECTURE
The Kohlberg Memorial Lecture will be delivered by Dr. James Youniss, the Wylma R. & James. R. Curtin Professor of Psychology at Catholic University and Fellow of the Life Cycle Institute. Dr. Youniss and his students study the impact of community service and other kinds of activism on youth's civic political and moral development. Their research shows that the effectiveness of service depends on the kind of program within which it occurs (i.e., type of service, organizers of the service, rationale for service). Dr. Youniss is also part of a team that studies the well-being of religiously-affiliated colleges and universities in the United States.
