RESISTING BORDERS II: REFUGEE AND MIGRANT HEALTH AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Caring on the Landscape of Displacement:
Mapping Moral Experience in Health Services for Migrants
June 16th, 17th and 18th 2020, 6 am – 8 am Eastern Standard Time
First convened in 2017, Resisting Borders: Refugee and Migrant Health and Responsibilities is a no travel, online, no fee conference aimed at discussing ethical issues surrounding responsibilities for the health of refugees, asylum-seekers, and other migrant and displaced people.
We are now inviting contributions for a second conference to be held in June 16th, 17th and 18th 2020, 6 am – 8 am Eastern Standard Time, as a satellite to the World Congress of Bioethics.
As before, we will convene for a few hours during each of the four days. The theme of the 2020 Resisting Borders conference will be Caring on the Landscape of Displacement: Mapping Moral Experience in Health Services for Migrants.
Submissions on any topic concerning migrant health and responsibility are welcome, but we are especially interested in contributions – be they academic research presentations, or narratives – that reflect the moral experience of professionals (e.g. scholars, practitioners, advocates, or policy-makers) whose work concerns the care of migrants at any point of their journey and settlement, as well as the ethical issues that arise in providing this care. We are also interested in experiences of those engaging with the care of migrants indirectly through the development of policy or journalism. Presentations might, for example, address ethical issues regarding constraints in the provision of health or other services, the identification of remains, involvement in medical exams linked to the processing of asylum claims, provision of care in detention facilities or other morally compromised/compromising settings, problems of dual or confused loyalties.
Submission before May 1st , 2020.
