With Dr. Alida Liberman, Southern Methodist University. Abstract: I articulate and defend the notion of everyday moral stress, or the various ways in which ordinary, low-stakes moral decision-making in a deeply flawed world can lead to distress, demoralization, desensitization, and denigration of your moral capacities. Like ordinary stress, moral stress can be beneficial in small doses. But everyday moral stressors become overwhelming and counterproductive when they are pervasive and unavoidable.

The Daedalus Lecture Series carves out a space for academic discussion, offering both a platform for sharing innovative work and the opportunity to come together as a diverse scholarly community. Rather than a teaching lecture, the presentations are conceived as a way to converse with and learn from one another in ways that enrich our community and broaden our interdisciplinary knowledge. Daedalus Lectures are intended to facilitate the sharing of research among colleagues.
