Welcome to our faculty

The purpose of CAPPE is to conduct ground-breaking research, provide policy input and promote community discussion and professional dialogue in relation to these and other important and pressing matters of public and political concern. CAPPE constitutes the largest concentration of philosophers working on applied philosophy and public ethics in Australia, and one of the largest such concentrations in the international philosophical community.

The Centre also brings together the complementary strengths of both the former Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics (CPAE), Charles Sturt University (CSU) and the former Centre for Philosophy and Public Issues (CPPI), University of Melbourne (UM) as well as extensive industry/professional contacts.
