Workshop - Ethics in the Field
*Venue: Macquarie UniversityTime: Friday 1 August, 9:20 - 17:00* The idea of 'field philosophy' has emerged as a response to calls for academic philosophy to become more relevant to so-called 'real-world' problems. Field philosophy aims to "begin with problems faced by nonphilosophic actors in real-world settings and seek to make contributions deemed successful according to more-than-disciplinary standards" (Robert Frodeman, Adam Briggle, and J. Britt Holbrook, 2012, "Philosophy in the Age of Neoliberalism," *Social Epistemology*, 26:3-4, 3-11-330, p.324). Participants in the workshop, "Ethics in the Field," will include Professor Robert Frodeman (a pioneer in field philosophy), Professor Rachel Ankeny of the University of Adelaide, as well as other scholars working (frequently unconsciously) in field philosophy, e.g., bioethics (animal, medical, clinical, and surgical ethics), research ethics and environmental humanities. Topics discussed will revolve around how to do field philosophy successfully, e.g., how to identify relevant problems, engage across disciplines, attract funding, communicate results to a variety of audiences, and impact public policy. Registration is free though places are limited. If you would like to attend please email Swantje - [email protected] -
