CfA workshop: Causation and Evidence in Medicine and Mental Health
The Philosophy & Medicine project is a joint initiative of the Peter Sowerby Foundation and King’s College London. The Sowerby Philosophy & Medicine project at King’s College London works to bring together medics and philosophers working at the intersection of philosophy of medicine, exploring the ways that philosophical research can enrich medical research and practice and vice versa.
This year, our annual lecture will be held by Professor. Nancy Cartwright on the topic of causation and evidence in medicine and public health. Accompanying Professor. Cartwright’s lecture, we will hold a two-day workshop exploring philosophical issues related to causation and evidence in medicine and public health as well as any other areas of Professor. Cartwright’s work.
We invite abstracts of up to 500 words for a workshop on philosophical reflections on causation and evidence in medicine and public health. We welcome abstracts for papers that engage in all three elements but are also open to papers that engage with the topics more widely.
The workshop will be held from November 2nd – 3rd at Kings College London and will be accompanied by the Annual Sowerby Lecture, given by Professor. Cartwright, on the evening of Thursday, November 2nd.
Abstracts should be prepared for blind review and submitted as a pdf or Word document to philandmed@kcl.ac.uk by August 15th. We will notify you of our decision by September 2nd. Speakers will have 30 minutes for their talk and an additional 30 minutes for Q&A.
We especially encourage members of marginalized groups to apply in recognition of the underrepresentation in Philosophy and Medicine of members of certain marginalized groups, including ethnic minorities, women, persons with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and others, and the deficits this creates in philosophical and medical research and governance.
