TOMATO²—pronounced “tomāto, tomɑto”—is Talks On Morality Across The Ocean, a workshop promoting professional engagement between ethicists on both sides of the Atlantic.
TOMATO² takes place on alternating years at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, US and Durham University in Durham, UK. The workshop features a main program(me) of 7 talks by philosophers from the visiting side of the Atlantic, with commentary by philosophers from the hosting side. An 8th talk is given by the winner of the GISME Prize in Markets & Ethics (which is open to everyone).
We aim to provide travel, lodging and meals for all speakers and commentators.
The second TOMATO² is scheduled for 18-19 April 2026 in Washington, DC.
TOMATO² is organized by David Faraci (Durham), Peter M. Jaworski (Georgetown) and Brian Berkey (UPenn).
TOMATO² is sponsored by the Georgetown Institute for the Study of Markets and Ethics (GISME).
