About UV: Understanding Value IX is the ninth instalment of a highly successful postgraduate conference at the University of Sheffield that aims at cultivating postgraduate work on value in a welcoming and inclusive space. As such the University of Sheffield and the organisers of Understanding Value highly encourage submissions from members of underrepresented groups in philosophy. At Understanding Value we are interested in papers addressing issues pertaining to value broadly construed. Value permeates many questions in philosophical discourse and as such we usually have presentations covering a wide range of different philosophical areas, as well as interdiciplinary contributions. To attend the conference, you have to register via Eventbrite.PG sessions: Group 1: Applied philosophy and practical knowledgeWednesday, 9th of December, 10:00-11:30 GMT* Karla Alex, Heidelberg University Hospital ‘Ethical conceptualization of a sustainable right to health(care)’* Rikke Friis Bentzon, Copenhagen University ‘Wisdom and well-being’* Victor Chidi Wolemonwu, University of Sheffield ‘Exploitation and Servile Relations in Clinical Research’Group 2: Ethics, Meta-Ethics and Moral EpistemologyWednesday, 9th of December, 10:00-11:30 GMT* Dylan Balfour, University of Edinburgh ‘The Long-Term Sensitivity Problem for Expected Value Consequentialism’* Sushruth Ravish, IIT Bombay (Mumbai) ‘Naturalized Social Moral Epistemology: A Cornell Realist Account’* Matt Rosen, University of Oxford ‘On Feeling that the Rain Should Stop: Virtues, Values, and Norms in Scheler’Group 3: Politics of Language Use and Social MetaphysicsWednesday 9th of December 2020, 15:30-17:00 GMT* Nikki Ernst, University of Cambridge ‘It's just a meme!'
