Monash Bioethics Centre, in conjunction with the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, Oxford University, the University of Melbourne, and the Charles Sturt University Practical and Public Ethics Research (PAPER) Group, will be hosting an online workshop on ‘Religious Pluralism in Healthcare’ from Friday 16 July to Sunday 18 July 2021 (inclusive).
This workshop is part of the Australian Research Council Discovery Project (DP190101597) on ‘Religion, pluralism, and healthcare practice: a philosophical assessment’. This project aims to develop a systematic approach to accommodating religious values and practices in healthcare. Current approaches are often ad hoc and discriminatory, and many countries are becoming more religiously diverse, so a systematic approach to this is needed.
The workshop will discuss draft papers by:
- Roger Crisp (University of Oxford);
- Joshua Hordern (University of Oxford);
- Robert Audi (University of Notre Dame) and William R. Smith (University of Pennsylvania);
- Steve Clarke (Charles Sturt University);
- Mehrunisha Suleman (Centre of Islamic Studies, University of Cambridge);
- Lauren Notini (Monash University and University of Melbourne) and Justin Oakley (Monash University).
Commentators on these draft papers will be from the DP19 project team (Justin Oakley (Monash University); Steve Clarke (Charles Sturt University); Tony Coady (University of Melbourne); Julian Savulescu (University of Melbourne; University of Oxford); Dominic Wilkinson (University of Oxford); and Lauren Notini (Monash University and University of Melbourne)) and/or paper authors.
