DESCRIPTION:<p>We are pleased to announce a one-day workshop on the topic of '<strong>Vaccine Hesitancy</strong>' featuring talks from<strong>&nbsp\;Katherine Furman</strong>&nbsp\;(University of Liverpool)\,&nbsp\;<strong>Maya J. Goldenberg</strong>&nbsp\;(University of Guelph)\, and&nbsp\;<strong>Cailin O'Connor</strong>&nbsp\;(University of California\, Irvine).</p>\n<p>Boris Johnson thinks that anti-vaxxers are "nuts". This seems a popular opinion. On the other hand\, the vaccine-hesitant seem to display various epistemic virtues: they question sources and refuse to take claims entirely on blind trust. Furthermore\, important arguments in economics\, anthropology and philosophy suggest a plethora of reasons we might\, reasonably\, be reluctant to vaccinate. Should we distinguish between anti-vaxxers and the "vaccine-hesitant"\, and\, if so\, why? How do these ethical and epistemic arguments relate to patterns in vaccine hesitancy - for example\, across ethnic groups or in terms of political polarisation? What are the larger lessons of vaccine hesitancy for thinking about trust in science? In this workshop\, three leading experts draw together work across social epistemology\, philosophy of science\, political philosophy and bioethics to address these practically pressing and theoretically deep problems</p>\n<p><strong>Schedule</strong></p>\n<p>13:45 (BST): Start</p>\n<p>14:00 (BST):&nbsp\;Katherine Furman</p>\n<p>15:00 (BST):&nbsp\;Maya Goldenberg&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>16:00 (BST): Break</p>\n<p>16:15 (BST):&nbsp\;Cailin O'Connor</p>\n<p>17:15 (BST): Roundtable discussion</p>\n<p>17:45 (BST): End&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Titles and abstracts of the talks will be released closer to the date of the workshop.
