Bias is prominently identified as the cause for under-representation, discrimination, and privilege. In the worthy pursuit of philosophical truth and justice "in the world", a rigorous study of biases, both implicit and explicit, provides us with the tools needed to fight this battle. In addition to our keynotes, we will be collecting high quality abstracts for papers to be presented at the event.

Funding: We are delighted to be able offer partial reimbursement for accommodations and subsistence to postgraduates thanks to generous funding from the Analysis Trust (up to 50% of costs on a first comers basis). We would also like to thank the Analysis Trust, the University of Leeds Interdisciplinary Ethics Applied Centre and School of Philosophy, Religion, & History of Science, the Aristotelian Society, Mind Association, and MAP for their continued support.

Registration: This event is free. There will be a conference dinner fee that will be collected at the door, but please indicate if you would like to attend during registration to allow us to gauge interest and seating requirements.

We aim to run an inclusive and accessible event. Should you have any specific requirements, please contact the conference organizers and we will do our very best to accommodate your needs.
