CfP/CfA: 10th Values in Medicine, Science, and Technology Conference 2020 at UT Dallas
Conference Description
This interdisciplinary conference seeks to explore the interplay between
human, ethical, social, cultural, and political values, on the one hand, and
science, technology, engineering, and medical research and practice, on the
other hand. We invite presentations that seek not only to understand how values
and science have and do influence one another, but also how they must and
should influence one another (as well as types of influence that should be
avoided). From this background, presentations that explore the relationship
between science and the public and the relationship between science and social
justice are also welcome. Finally, this conference ultimately seeks to
promoting ethically responsible and socially beneficial scientific research and
technological innovation, and critical reflection about the influence of
science, technology, and medicine on our values, culture, practices, and
worldviews.
Proposals from any disciplinary or theoretical approach that addresses
these themes are welcome, and interdisciplinary and socially engaged work is
particularly of interest.
This 10th annual conference will include a session celebrating 10 years of
the VMST conference and the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Center.
