We are pleased to announce the call for abstracts for the workshop &ldquo\;Philosophy &\; Science for Human Rights: the Political Brain"\, which will take place on March 3rd\, 10:00 am-8:00 pm\, at the Senate House building of the University of Bristol.
\nArticle 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights mentions the &ldquo\;right [...] to share in scientific advancement and its benefits\," implying that there is a &ldquo\;Right to Science&rdquo\; (RtS). Inspired the idea of a Right to Science\, this interdisciplinary conference will examine how a scientific understanding of the brain can and should ground democratic citizenship in the twenty-first century. It will invite philosophers\, neuroscientists\, and mental health researchers to explore this idea in a way that is accessible to the students and members of the public who will be invited to attend.
\nIt will explore issues such as:
\n&bull\; Theoretical foundations of the right to science
\n&bull\; Political and social implications of the right to science
\n&bull\; Applications of the right to science in fields such as psychiatry\, public health\, and education
\n&bull\; Case studies of the implementation of the right to science in different contexts
\nThe workshop will be organized in collaboration with Science for Democracy (https://sciencefordemocracy.org)\, a non-governmental organization that advocates for and monitors the right to science globally\, and Dr. Dan Degerman&rsquo\;s Leverhulme Trust-funded project &lsquo\;Mortifying consciousness&rsquo\;.
\nSincerely\,
\n\nThe Organizing Committee
