\nConference Theme: Feminist Ethics in Theory and Practice: Challenging practices in contested domains
\nRecent decades have seen increasing interest in feminist perspectives in ethics. Alternative approaches to ethical theory and practical moral concerns have led to the questioning of traditional approaches and have enriched the landscape of ethical reflection in both established and emerging areas of interest.

\n- \; \; \; \; \; \;  \;ethics and philosophy of literature
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; The ethics of empowerment and marginalisation
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; Ethical concerns with regard to disability\, reproduction\, genetics\, information technologies\, the environment\, animals\, biology
\nProfessor Alice Crary (New School for Social Research) will be a keynote speaker at the conference. Papers related to any aspect of her work are also welcome. Other invited speakers will be announced soon.
