Bioethics and Political Philosophy: Nordic Perspectives

We invite abstract submissions from researchers working in Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland) on the theme of autonomy, broadly conceived. Submissions should have relevance to both bioethics and political philosophy. We especially welcome contributions from early career researchers (PhD students and recent graduates). We aim to have at least half of the presentations from early career researchers.

Your abstract should be no longer than 500 words, suitable for a 40-minute presentation. It should be prepared for anonymous review. The abstract should be in PDF format. In the accompanying email, please indicate your name, title, institutional affiliation, and contact details. Send your submissions to greg.bognar@philosophy.su.se. The deadline for submission is February 15, 2019.

We will cover travel and accommodation for all accepted speakers.

The workshop begins in the morning of May 16 (Thursday) and ends before lunch on May 18 (Saturday). Attendance is free. Registration is not mandatory, but if you are planning to attend, please let us know by sending an email to the organizers before May 10, 2019.

There will be separate calls for the later workshops. You may submit abstracts for more than one workshop.

The workshop is hosted jointly by the Department of Philosophy, Stockholm University and the Stockholm Centre for Healthcare Ethics (CHE).
