CANCELLED - Disability, Ethics and Technology
We regret to announce that this conference has been cancelled.
McGill's Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism and the Institute of Health & Social Policy invite you to the second seminar in the 2019-2020 Disability Seminar Series, which this year is themed around Autonomy and Empowerment. Bringing together students, academics, legal professionals, and activists, this half-day conference will consider the intersections of disability, law, and technology.
It will start with a keynote address by Christopher Kaposy, professor of bioethics at Memorial University. Kaposy comes from a background in philosophy and is the author of Choosing Down Syndrome: Ethics and New Prenatal Testing Technologies (MIT Press, 2018). It will also feature student presentations in a roundtable format, giving an opportunity for McGill students to share their scholarship on disability. Professor Jonas-S茅bastien Beaudry, McGill Faculty of Law, will make give the closing remarks.
