The Nordic Network for Philosophical Anthropology Conference
"Health, Life and the Human Body"
Åbo Akademi University, Turku, Finland
April 13-14, 2012
During the last three decades, medical anthropology has flourished as a branch of research, making strikingly clear how culturally diverse conceptions of such central notions as health, sickness, life, death, personhood, soul, and body in fact are. The aim of the conference and workshop is to reflect on the conceptual, ethical and existential significance of such results.
INVITED SPEAKERS
Margaret Lock (McGill University)
Emily Martin (New York University)
Rebecca Kukla (University of South Florida/Georgetown University)
Uffe Juul Jensen (Aarhus University)
Fredrik Svenaeus (Södertörn University College).
The invited lectures and the panel discussion are open for all interested. In addition, there are workshop sessions for members of The Nordic Network for Philosophical Anthropology.
