- Assistant Professor Michael Skerker's manuscript entitled Gunsoul: The Moral Status of Combatants, won the American Philosophical Association's 2013 Charles Sharp Memorial Prize for best unpublished manuscript in the field of military ethics. The book defends the view that combatants on both just and unjust sides of a war have equal rights to wield violence. This view has come under assault from a group of critics who argue that ordinary service personnel are culpable for the wars in which they fight and as such, lack a right to participate in unjust wars.
