• ACHEEV 2023 Symposium: Researching Values in Health Contexts

  ACHEEV 2023 Symposium: Researching Values in Health Contexts

  The 2023 ACHEEV Symposium focuses on values in public health and health care. ‘Values’ are a common object of academic attention in health research, but are conceptualised and theorised differently in the disciplines contributing to health research. Some disciplines offer deep ontological and epistemological structures for thinking about values (consider for example value theory in moral philosophy, or fact-value debates in the philosophy of science). In contrast, some research practices treat participant values as self-evident in data, without relying on such scaffolding. And some methodologies—such as deliberative democratic approaches—invite participants to make cooperative judgements about value trade-offs.

  Thinking Together: Interdisciplinary Workshop on Collective Memory & Collective Knowledge

  Murdoch University, 31 October – 2 November 2023, in-person

  Much of our memories, narratives, and knowledge are social in character: collectively generated and interdependent. To a large extent, the philosophical discourses on these issues – questions of how we ‘think together’ – have been conducted separately. Thinking together: Interdisciplinary Workshop on Collective Memory & Collective Knowledge attempts to bring these discourses into dialogue and, what is more, tap into related debates occurring in philosophy, cultural history and indigenous studies to deepen our understanding of the fundamentally social aspect of who we are and how we make sense of ourselves and the world around us.

  This event will create a space where people from diverse areas of expertise, levels of career, and academic backgrounds can meet to discuss problems, questions, and issues concerning collective forms of memory and knowledge. The aim of Thinking Together is to be an interdisciplinary effort to share and explore innovative ways to understand collective memory and collective knowledge as valuable sources of knowledge for diverse humanistic, social, and scientific disciplines.

  Confirmed speakers:

  • John Sutton (Macquarie University)

  • Robert A. Wilson (University of Western Australia)

  • Alessandro Portelli (The Sapienza University of Rome)

  • Kellie Pollard (Charles Darwin University)

  • Nicolas Bullot (Charles Darwin University)

  Merleau-Ponty and Embodiment: Between the Cognitive, Aesthetic, and Socio-Political

  Merleau-Ponty’s seminal work on embodiment has been of enduring interest and influence in a wide range of fields. It has, for example, played a significant role in research on embodied cognition and enactivism, subjectivity and intersubjectivity, affectivity, movement, art, place, and more. Although sometimes criticized for providing an account of embodiment that is too general, Merleau-Ponty’s philosophical foregrounding of embodiment has also facilitated critical phenomenological studies attending to the specificities of how particular bodies inhabit social and political environments, through considerations of race, gender, disability, aging, and illness. This year’s meeting of the IMPC seeks to bring together these rich and varied strands of enquiry, in order to think with, against, and beyond Merleau-Ponty’s own contributions on the lived body.

  Only its third time outside North America, this year’s meeting of IMPC will take place in Melbourne (Narrm), Australia, on the traditional and unceded lands of the Kulin Nation. The conference is being directed by Helen Ngo and Jack Reynolds, with support from Andrew Inkpin and others. Keynote and plenary speakers will be announced shortly. The conference will be held at the centrally located and accessible Deakin Downtown campus, and recommended accommodation options will be provided nearer the date.

  Full paper submissions of no more than 3,500 words are due by May 15, 2023. As is custom, submissions on any aspect of Merleau-Ponty’s work, in addition to the conference theme, are also welcome.

  This year’s conference will include a thematic stream on Race, place, and bodies curated by Helen Ngo for a research project funded by the Australian Research Council (DE220100329). A small number of bursaries will be available for students and unwaged early career researchers presenting in-person in this stream. Participants wishing to be considered for this are asked to indicate so on the cover letter of your submission.
