About this Event
This one-day symposium is hosted by Ethics and Social Welfare
Keynote speakers: Sarah Banks (Durham University, UK) and Derek Clifford (Founding Co-Editor of Ethics and Social Welfare)
These are difficult times, for anyone seeking to understand the relation between ethics and social welfare, in theory or practice. How best should we address the challenges of our current conjuncture, in relation to lessons from and about the past, and understandings of the shape of the future?
This international and interdisciplinary symposium invites academics, practitioners, commentators, activists, service-users and others with an interest in the relationship between ethics, social justice and the shifting contexts of social welfare to reflect on this question across the range of relevant perspectives.
Examples of relevant focal points might be, but are not limited to:
• The pasts and futures of anti-oppressive practice
• Changing dynamics of class, race, gender, faith, disability, sexuality, poverty, migration, healthcare, children, older people, family.
• Environmental justice
• More than human ethics
• Decolonial practices
• Implications of technological change
• Relations between local and global
A selection of teas, coffee and lunch will be provided.
