Honor Ethics 
dan demetriou said:
It looks as though Frank Henderson Stewart, author of _Honor_ (http://www.amazon.com/Honor-Frank-Henderson-Stewart/dp/0226774082) will be presenting a paper as well!
Stewart’s contribution to honor scholarship is as significant as anyone’s. His work always seems to be mentioned by name in subsequent publications, and honor theorists in every discipline tend to present their views in relation to his—or simply accept it (as Appiah does in his recent _Honor Code_). We are delighted that he will be joining us.
The Conference also now has a web presence: http://www.morris.umn.edu/academics/philosophy/colloquium/.
