Interested in attending? Please email Oscar Westerblad (ow5) so we can keep track of the audience size as well as provide you with any key updates (e.g. venue updates). There is a possibility we will be able to provide small bursaries to postgraduates and early career researchers wishing to serve as discussants at the conference. Please let us know if you or anyone you know might be interested in this.
In spring 2017 there will be a large, five day conference called the Ethics of Giving, also at St Andrews. Let us know if you’d like to receive updates or further details on this.
Finally, please feel free to forward this message to anyone who might be interested in attending.
