Can I draw your attention to the above international conference which is
being held at Lancaster University, UK on the 12th and 13th September
2006.
The conference will explore issues of Social Responsibility,
Accountability and Trust within an interdisciplinary arena, including
contributors from Sociology, Social Policy, Health and Medicine, the
Environment, Business and Management as well as Philosophy.
Key-note speakers include:
Lord David Puttnam, CBE - President of UNICEF, Politician and Film-maker
who will talk on Accountability and Responsibility in Public Life
Professor Frank Furedi - author of "Politics of Fear", "Where Have All
the Intellectuals Gone?", "Therapy Culture", "Paranoid Parenting" and
"Culture of Fear"
On the second day of the conference there will be a panel comprising
representatives from major UK research funders (ESRC, AHRC, Joseph
Rowntee Foundation, MRC).
We would particularly welcome more participation from the fields of
Social Policy and Social Research since the conference provides the
opportunity to explore current debates around ethics, social
responsibility, accountability and so on within a truly
inter-disciplinary environment. We have extended the deadline for our
call for papers until 31st May. If you would like to offer a paper,
please submit an abstract of between 250 and 1000 words to:
