Contributors from over 35 states and 20 countries will present symposia,

such as schools, families, communities of faith, and the professions.

preconference workshops designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of
theorists, researchers, and practitioners.

THEME AND SPEAKERS
The theme of AME '97 is "The Voices of Care and Justice: Enhancing the
Dialogue among Theorists, Researchers, and Practitioners." AME '97 will
renew and develop the dialogue between care and justice perspectives, so
that all voices may join together in a harmonious way, enhancing each and
diminishing none.
Keynote Speaker Carol Gilligan
Carol Gilligan will deliver the 1997 Kohlberg Memorial Lecture. She
initiated the care-justice dialogue with the publication of In a Different
Voice (Harvard University Press, 1982). Her award-winning book has brought
women's voices into psychological theory, and women's lives into research
on human development, changing the "voice" of psychology and contributing
to the development of a relational approach to human problems.

ABOUT THE AME
The Association for Moral Education was founded in 1976 to provide an
interdisciplinary forum for dialogue among professionals interested in the
moral dimensions of educational theory and practice. AME is dedicated to
fostering communication, cooperation, training, curriculum development, and
research in moral theory and educational practice. The Association
emphasizes the importance of opportunities for engagement in moral
dialogue--a value that is reflected in this year's conference theme.
Governed by an elected Executive Board, AME's membership is international
in scope and includes educators and educational researchers, psychologists
and sociologists, philosophers and theologians, public and private school
