The ethics of the Covid-19 Pandemic
In celebration of the Programme’s 20th anniversary, we are pleased to invite you to a two-day online workshop 3-4 June 2021.
The Covid-19 pandemic raises a number of urgent ethical issues. For example, to what extent should individual freedoms be restricted to stop the spread of the virus? How should advantages and disadvantages of measures taken against the pandemic be distributed among the population? Who should be prioritized in vaccination, nationally and globally? What is the ethical significance of emotions or attitudes such as fear and hope in this situation? This workshop will gather philosophers and other scholars to discuss the ethics of the ongoing pandemic. We welcome submissions addressing normative issues as well as empirical issues with a bearing on normative questions. The workshop has a particular focus on the Nordic context, but international perspectives are also welcome.
The workshop marks the 20th anniversary of NTNU’s Programme for Applied Ethics. Papers presented at the workshop will be considered for publication in a special issue on Covid-19 of the journal Etikk i Praksis – Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics.
Key note speakers:
- Christy Simpson (Dalhousie University)
- Eivind Almaas (NTNU)
When: 3-4 June 2021
The workshop is held as a webinar, and attendance is open to all.
Organizers:
- NTNU, Programme for Applied Ethics
- Etikk i Praksis – Nordic Journal of Applied Ethics
