We invite you to attend the BSc Bioethics Annual Conference, a student led conference organised by the 2020/2021 cohort of iBSc Bioethics intercalators. 

The conference will be run virtually over 3 days in March, and each 2 hour session will include an academic and non-academic talk, plus short elevator pitch presentations from current BSc Bioethics students on their dissertation topics.

The conference will explore the intersections of race, gender, disability and LGBTQIA+ issues within Bioethics and consider the discrimination and disadvantage that can arise.

Each day has been assigned an overarching theme, and speakers will explore this theme from multiple different perspectives. Firstly, we will consider racial disadvantage and discrimination and the role of doctors in challenging this. Secondly, we will focus on disability and sex and finally we will consider the politics of naming and categorising intersex.

Sessions will run from 1300 - 1500 over the 22nd - 24th March as follows:
