17 May 2012: Health Innovation and Social Equity in the 21st Century
Institute of Philosophy and ESRC Innogen Workshop
HEALTH INNOVATION AND SOCIAL EQUITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY FOCUS ON HEALTH INJUSTICES http://philosophy.sas.ac.uk/d/f/Health_Innovation_170512.doc
Room S264, Senate House, University of London
Thurs 17th May 2012, 10.00-17:30
BACKGROUND
Since the dawn of the new millennium, it has been hard to keep up with the pace of innovative developments in the area of human health care. In terms of specific technologies, health innovation has included the development of new gene-based diagnostics, such as PGD, and the identification of underlying genetic components of diseases. In pharmacogenetics, the introduction of personalised medicine also promises treatments designed for individual patients while the development of gene- and cell-based therapies, including gene therapy and the use of stem cells, create expectations not only for preventing or curing diseases but also for enhancing human beings. With the current, but not inevitable, exception of enhancements, these new technologies are no longer of futuristic kind; they have already become actualised and becoming well established.
Yet, it is a recurrent problem that, with technological development, new forms of injustice can also arise. While some health innovations, like immunisations, can have positive externalities, others can sustain or exacerbate inequalities with adverse social, economic and health consequences for those worst off. In order to replicate the successes in health-related technology with successes in health-related justice, greater innovation is also required in the responses to such concerns.
One part of this innovation comes in the greater openness of academics from different disciplines to be open to working together. It is not clear that one perspective – whether philosophy, sociology and health economics – can sufficiently understand and address new forms of health injustice on its own. In keeping with the promise of a multidisciplinary response to better tackle injustices more generally, innovations in health care may be better guided by a continuance of this dialogue between perspectives that may otherwise remain divided and less effective in terms of public policy and practice.
WORKSHOP
It is against this background that the workshop is being organised to address the following questions:
• Which, if any, philosophical principles (whether ideal or non-ideal) should guide health care and health innovation?
• Should values as opposed to principles be preferred?
• Can new ideas of, or problems facing, justice emerge in the process of public policy formation?
• What role does public opinion play in the debate and how might public engagement be improved?
• What should the consequences on health care practice be?
• What are the benefits and drawbacks of a multidisciplinary approach?
SPEAKERS
Prof Trisha Greenhalgh (Barts)
Prof Jonathan Wolff (UCL)
Dr Nina Hallowell (PHG Foundation)
Prof Maureen Mackintosh (OU)
Dr James Wilson (UCL)

The workshop is organised and funded by the Institute of Philosophy and the ESRC Centre for Social and Economic Research on Innovation in Genomics. Participants will be drawn from a wide range of academics, policy practitioners and others with an interest in ethical and political aspects of health care and health innovation.

19 April 2012: Empire of Dust / White Elephant
EMPIRE OF DUST + WHITE ELEPHANT
Screening 19th April
Riverside Studios, 7.30pm and Hackney Picturehouse 6.30pm
The relentless Chinese march across Africa trips up on a road-building site in the Congo.
Ambitious Lao Yan is a Chinese entrepreneur fired up to create a 300km road between two cities in the Congo. When his plan goes badly wrong, he finds a Mandarin-speaking local man Eddy to act as an intermediary. Demanding Yan and laid-back Eddy develop a comic and prickly friendship that bristles with culture clash. As the Congo gives away its immense copper and cobalt reserves to the Chinese in return for infrastructure, Empire of Dust shows the heavy price being paid by the Congolese for this ‘development’.
"Absurdism meets globalization, with the fate of the Congo’s development lying somewhere in between." (What (not) to Doc)
WHITE ELEPHANT is an evocative short on the central post office in Kinshasa, DR Congo, which has become a grandiose relic of a colonial past. Through this historical lens we are able to see a glimpse of modern-day Congo.

4-5 October 2012: Food Studies - an Interdisciplinary Conference (call for papers - deadline 4 May 2012)
FOOD STUDIES: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL, USA
4-5 October 2012
http://Food-Studies.com/conference
This conference will address contemporary food challenges from interdisciplinary perspectives by exploring new possibilities for sustainable food production and human nutrition. The aim is to consider the dimensions of a 'new green revolution' that will meet our human needs in a more effective, equitable and sustainable way in the twenty-first century.
Members of this knowledge community include academics, teachers, administrators, policy makers and practitioners in food communities. Contributions range from broad theoretical and global policy explorations, to detailed studies of specific human-physiological, nutritional and social dynamics of food. Other topics are welcome, and should focus on the food sciences in the areas such as, but not limited to agricultural and environmental food sciences, food industries and markets, and local and global food sociologies.
Location: In 2012, The Food Studies Conference is strategically held in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois during the Midwestern harvest season. This is the home of the land-grant University of Illinois, located in the United States' agricultural heartland. With cutting-edge research at the University, and a full range of agricultural endeavors in the community, ranging from large agribusiness to urban farmers' markets, Urbana-Champaign represents an ideal location for the Food Studies community to gather.
This year's conference will feature a special panel discussion highlighting Urban Food Hubs and their evolving role in the local agribusiness and food industry arena. Conference tour activities will feature an exclusive farm-to-table dinner at Prairie Fruits Farm where participants will experience the slow foods movement first-hand in a unique outdoor, field-side setting. Urbana Champaign can easily be reached by commuter plane, train and road from Chicago and Bloomington, Illinois.
Proposals: We welcome presentation proposals which range from broad explorations of theoretical, methodological and policy questions, to proposals which present finely grained evidence of the connections of economics, public health, government and community practices, sociological, medical and educational perspectives of food in our societies.
Presenters will have the option to submit to be published in the refereed 'Food Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal.'
Proposals must be in English, include a title, a 20-30 word "Short Description" (thesis statement), a 200-300 word "Long Description" (abstract), and can be submitted electronically through our website. For more information regarding proposal submission requirements and to submit your proposal, please visit the conference website at: http://food-studies.com/conference-2012/call-for-papers/

2nd Annual ICLQ Lecture:
'Assignment of Contractual Claims under the Rome I Regulation: Choice of Law for Third-Party Rights'
Thursday 10 May 2012 17:00 to 19:00
British Institute of International and Comparative Law, Charles Clore House, 17 Russell Square, London WC1B 5JP
Of great importance in financial-services law, the assignment of claims raises difficult questions for private international law (conflict of laws), especially as regards third-party rights. Although the Rome I Regulation contains provisions dealing with the relationship of the three primary parties (the creditor, the debtor and the assignee), it does not cover the rights of third parties. This is because when the negotiations were being conducted, there was insufficient time to find a solution that was acceptable to all concerned. For this reason, the matter was left open, but Article 27(2) of the Regulation requires the Commission to report back on the problem. This report, which should have been submitted in 2010, is now in the process of being written. The lecture seeks to analyse the issues, and consider the options available to the Commission and Member States.
Welcome: Professor Catherine Redgwell, General Editor of the ICLQ, Professor of International Law, University College London
Speaker: Professor Trevor Hartley, Professor of Law Emeritus, London School of Economics
Closing remarks: Professor Robert McCorquodale, Joint General Editor of the ICLQ, Director, British Institute of International and Comparative Law
