Event: 4th UK Annual Postgraduate Bioethics Conference

June 1, 2009

UK Annual Postgraduate Bioethics Conference
23rd and 24th of June 2009

The conference is scheduled for Tuesday the 23rd and Wednesday the 24th of June 2009 and will be held in Seminar Room One of the Institute of Governance at Queen’s University Belfast.

Conference Theme: Engaging Bioethics/ Bioethical Engagements.

Bioethics has always represented an engagement between the academy’s ‘two cultures’ as well as an attempt to bring the ethical issues raised by bioscience and healthcare to the attention of a wider audience, including that of the general public. Continuing the theme of self-reflection that has been a mark of previous conferences in this series the conference aims to represent the current diversity of bioethical scholarship at the postgraduate level and raise questions regarding the engagement of bioethical research and its various publics.

The conference will be postgraduate led. We hope to have at least four panels each containing three postgraduate papers.
