Added Value Sessions 2011
Posted on September 8th, 2010 No commentsThe 2011 conference programme will include some ‘added value’ sessions aimed at meeting the needs of PhD and Postdoc researchers in bioethics. If you have anything you would like to see included in this session please email us. Our current plans include arranging talks on funding, on interdisciplinarity and a networking session.
We will also be having a talk and Q&A with two early career researchers. One of whom, Dr Caragh Brosnan (CBAS, KCL) is relatively new to bioethics but has experience on the sociology of medicine and the other of whom, Dr Mikey Dunn (Ethox, Oxford) is familiar with bioethics and social-legal studies and has recently begun a project on empirical ethics.
