Conference Announcement Theme: Global Justice and Global Health Ethics Subtitle: Exploring the Influence of Iris Marion Young Type: International Workshop Institution: Munich Center for Ethics, University of Munich Location: Munich (Germany) Date: 8.–9.7.2016 __________________________________________________ Iris Marion Young, who died 10 years ago, was an influential scholar in political, social and moral theory – as well as an engaged citizen and activist. In her writings she suggests an innovative political conception of responsibility for social justice, both on a domestic and global level. Young develops a distinctive view, departing from a critical analysis of persisting structural injustice and different forms of oppression and exclusion. She offers original views about the moral demand for impartiality, individual and collective responsibility and spells out an important alternative to prevailing theories of procedural and distributive justice. The conference will examine the impact of Iris Marion Young’s work on contemporary global justice theory and practice in order to stimulate a broader reception of her valuable contributions. The conference will further explore the application of Young’s theory to the field of global health ethics – an undertaking that promises great potential, but has received little attention so far. Papers will address issues of responsibility for global justice, social connections and relational equality, as well as feminist views on epistemic injustice, and inquire how these theoretical innovations impact on practical challenges, e.g. in the fields of public and global health and health care, migration, climate change, and others.
