Annual Peter Sowerby
Interdisciplinary Workshop
Each year, in advance of the Annual Lecture, the Sowerby Philosophy and Medicine Project organises an interdisciplinary workshop exploring a a topic of particular relevance to philosophy, medicine and its intersection. We invite a mixture of contributors with diverse sets of perspectives to tackle this topic as part of an academic workshop.
4th Peter Sowerby Interdisciplinary Workshop
The 2022 Workshop will take place on November 2nd – 3rd at Kings College London and will be followed by the Annual Sowerby Lecture, given by Professor Hanna Pickard, on the evening of Thursday, November 3rd. The workshop will focus on philosophical reflections on addiction and other aspects of Professor Pickard’s work.
