I challenge each on the grounds that they fail to account for moral responsibility, which gives us reason to return our focus not to how people are but what they actively do.Ĭarla Fehr (University of Waterloo), “Who the computer sees: Visions of bias in artificial intelligence” Short Abstract: In this project I explore the ways in which appeals to unconscious bias, human nature, or even localized and more straightforward appeals to bad character create the conditions for that double bind. Mary’s College of Maryland), “One Problem with Apologizing for Who You Are” I will argue that it is still helpful to try to cultivate an autonomous relationship with the mess, given a suitably relational conception of autonomy and an appreciation of one's vulnerability and entanglement.īarrett Emerick (St. Short Abstract: All good eating guidelines to the contrary, once we take into consideration the range of relations and ethical quandaries involved in our food practices, it appears that very little is clear and that ethical purity is impossible. Jane Dryden (Mount Allison University), “Relational Autonomy and the Messiness of Ethical Eating” Short Abstract: In this talk, I explore the particular agency of food through practices of food intake and interaction (intra-action) with food during pregnancy and early motherhood and explore what it brings to the transient non-/being that is-not/is the pregnant woman and her hope(s) or attempt(s) to realize the ideals of good mother/good person or citizen.
