CfP Health, Culture and the Human Body (İstanbul Sept. 2014)
Reminder: CALL
FOR ABSTRACTS
The 3rd international
and interdisciplinary conference on
Health, Culture
and the Human Body
Epidemiology,
ethics and history of medicine, perspectives from Turkey and Central Europe
Istanbul, Turkey,
11-13 September 2014
We are very happy
to announce that the conference will be opened by the eminent ethicist Robert
Veatch (Kennedy Institute of Ethics, Georgetown University
Washington DC).
This conference will focus on
selected cases from Turkey, Germany, and other countries which for the last 50
years have been closely connected by substantial migration processes, as they
had been earlier through medical scientific exchanges and common clinical
practice. Building on the well received first two rounds on the beginning and
the end of life, respectively, held in Germany (Mainz) in 2010 and in Turkey
(Istanbul) in 2012, the aim of this third conference is to widen the discussion
platform for different ethical considerations among historically connected
countries, applying an interdisciplinary “medicine studies” approach to
selected sample cases or population approaches from Turkey, Germany and other
countries with comparable relationships.
The thematic areas chosen for the
third conference are:
- Organ Transplantation and brain death (organ donation: problems and solutions; health risks after transplantation; cultural differences in the acceptance of organ transplantation)
- Modifications and Manipulations of the Human Body (plastic surgery, gender assignment surgery, neurochips, enhancement – e.g., pharmacological – doping or neuroenhancement; telomere research [extension of lifespan]; the ethics of transhumanism)
- Psychiatry (autonomy in psychiatry, transcultural perspectives, historical and international connections in the development of modern psychiatry)
- Palliative care and culture
- Migration and health
Abstracts (max. 250 words) of proposed
conference papers should be submitted by 18 April 2014, to
the attention of Hakan Ertin MD PhD, E-Mail:bilgi@besikcizade.com ,
