Philosophy in Research Ethics. (360G-Wellcome-091405_Z_10_Z)

£1,215

Philosophy in Research Ethics will initiate a structured discussion of distinctively philosophical issues around research ethics and ethics review. There is currently no group regularly working on these issues. The conference is intended to be the first of a regular series of events and so the essential first step in consolidating the theoretical basis in which research ethics is considered and ethics committees work. It will establish an initial network of academics with philosophical interest in research ethics and research ethics committees, focus attention on the issues of principle that risk getting lost amongst the practical considerations which are the stock in trade of many ethics committees, and provide a forum for the investigation of those issues. The conference will focus on specifically philosophical work in relation to ethics, ethics review and ethics committees. As the first in a series, it will start to develop a map of the theoretical terrain: the questions that need to be asked, the strategies available for answering them, and the constraints which apply to those answers. Just as importantly, it will enable the dissemination of work that is already underway in this area.
