Sowerby Workshop: What is dying?

The Sowerby Philosophy & Medicine Project are delighted to invite you to a one-day workshop on May 8th, 9:00 - 17:30 at King's College London on "What is Dying?". This interdisciplinary workshop aims to bring together researchers from philosophy, public policy and medicine to explore the question “what is dying?”. The hope is to clarify the question and highlight the urgent need for an answer. This is the start of a cross-disciplinary conversation which should hopefully stimulate discussion and work on a much neglected topic.

Speakers:

Dr Christina Chu, Clinical Research Training Fellow, University College London, Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Department

Dr Paul Taylor, Consultant in Palliative Medicine and St Luke’s Senior Clinical Lecturer in Palliative Medicine at the University of Sheffield

Dr Guy Schofield, Consultant in Palliative Medicine and Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at Imperial College London

Professor Michael Hauskeller, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Liverpool

Professor Havi Carel, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Bristol
