Prof. Silvia Camporesi

As part of the Institute of Medical Ethics seminar series, I’m giving a seminar via Zoom on Wednesday September 7th on the topic of proportionality in public health ethics, focusing on the Italian case study of lockdown in 2020.

Time is 6:15 to 7:15 BST (London time) and you can find the details and zoom link here.

All welcome!

Very excited about resuming conferencing in person again very soon!

I will be giving two papers at the 19th Biennal European Society for Health and Medical Sociology conference, with theme “Healthscapes. Shaping the future of the post-pandemic society”.

The first paper is titled “What experts? Whose advice? The “Delphi oracle” and “Moses tablets” in the management of the covid19 health emergency in Italy” with Giorgia Dal Fabbro (University of Trento), and Professor Federica Angeli (University of York) and is based on our work for ESCaPE project published earlier this year:

The second paper is titled “A public health ethics perspective on age-based COVID-19 preventive measures in Southern Switzerland” and is a work in progress with Dr Laurie Corna, Dr David Maciariello, and Professor Stefano Cavalli (University of Applied Sciences & Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI))

The full programme of the conference can be dowloaded here.

I am delighted to announce two upcoming Bioethics & Society coffee breaks in August focused on getting published in bioethics.

The first one will be on Wednesday August 3^rd from 9 am to 10 am BST  via Teams ( email me for link).

Our first guest is Tessa Holzman, class of 2019, PhD candidate at Monash University in Melbourne.  (Please note the early start to accommodate the 9 hours time-zone difference!)

Tess is currently doing her PhD at the Bioethics Centre at Monash University in end-of-life ethics. Her PhD focuses on the same topic as her Master’s dissertation (and subsequent publication), namely the ethical implications and difficulties involved in granting voluntary assisted dying for existential, rather than physical or psychological suffering. She is also writing a novel on the same topic. 

Here is the link to Tessa’s article, based on her MSc dissertation

The second coffee break  will feature Yuxuan Su, class of 2021, and will take place via Teams on Tuesday August 9th at 4:30 pm BST. Here’s the link to Yuxuan’s article, based on his MSc dissertation:
