Conference Announcement: Moral Biology at Harvard

By Larry Solum

On April 15 and 16 Harvard Law School's Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics, in collaboration with the Harvard Program on Ethics and Health, The Project on Law and Mind Sciences at Harvard Law School, the Gruter Institute, and the MacArthur Law and Neuroscience Project, will be holding a two-day conference entitled "Moral Biology?" The conference examines what relevance developments in the mind sciences and evolutionary biology should or should not have for moral and legal reasoning about responsibility, punishment, racism, cooperation, and addiction. The event features a public panel open to all (taking place on Thursday April 15 at 5:30 PM at Harvard Law School) as well as several closed-door sessions. We may have a very small number of spaces available for additional participants for the closed portions of the conference. If you are interested in one of those spaces, please email Kathy Paras, kparas@law.harvard.edu with a sentence or two describing why the conference would be a good fit for your work and interests. Our available spaces are very limited but we will do our best to accommodate who we can. There is no charge for attending.
