🚨🚨The abstract submission deadline for PGBC 25 is tomorrow! 🚨🚨
Come join us at @ethoxcentre.bsky.social for the friendliest bioethics conference around.
Submit your abstract here: ime.datawareonline.co.uk/Event-Bookin...
The theme of 'Disruption in Bioethics' situates bioethics as a disruptive field, challenging the status quo and bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives to address society's most impactful questions around health and science. In particular, those related to environmental, socio-political, technological, and economic developments, as well as their histories. We welcome submissions from postgraduates in any discipline. This conference is a space for the obvious bioethical entanglements and the niche, uncomfortable, and radical. So, we aim to be a welcoming and inclusive space for marginalised and vulnerable voices, epistemologically and otherwise. We take a broad view of disruption, so topics can include (but are not limited to): • Methodological disruption: using non-traditional methodologies to gain new or improved insights into bioethical challenges, or to promote engagement with important bioethical work. • Decolonising and amplifying voices: moving beyond the Global North and Western-centric frameworks, and what we can learn from social, political and/or epistemic plurality. • Unexpected convergences: intersections of bioethical research, culture and the arts; what bioethics can learn from ethical principles in action outside health and science. • Disruptive theories: radical departures from, or reframings of, established bioethical principles. • Reshaping policy and practice: tensions between academic research and real-world ethical decision-making etc. Abstracts should be 500 words maximum, in the English language, and not contain any identifying information (such as your name or institution).

How should we decide who gets priority for life-saving treatment when resources are limited?

Jamie's PhD explored whether machine learning models should influence these high-stakes decisions.
