>2nd CALL FOR PAPERS:
>
>CONFERENCE: <http://www.healthpromotionethics.eu/>SETTING AN ETHICAL
>AGENDA FOR HEALTH PROMOTION
>18-20 September 2007, Ghent, Belgium
>
>The promotion of health, both as a methodology and as a policy, has
>always been partly an ethical project. The past few decades the
>policy makers' attention has not only been attracted by data
>regarding morbidity and mortality, but just as much by health
>inequalities. Therefore, reducing health disparities and assuring
>people the right to the highest attainable standard of health is
>nowadays considered as an absolute priority by local, national and
>supranational institutions.
>Despite these ethical motivations the domain of health promotion
>practice is littered with ethical pitfalls: victim blaming,
>paternalism, healthism, imposing a conception of 'the good life',
>coercion, the use of marketing strategies, lack of consent, etc.
>This conference intends to bring together scholars from both the
>fields of ethics and health promotion in order to identify and to
>examine the ethical issues that are at stake within the context of
>health promotion.
>
>Confirmed keynotes: Norman Daniels (Harvard), David McQueen (CDC &
>IUPHE), Nancy Kass (Johns Hopkins), Angus Dawson (Keele), Marcel
>Verweij (Utrecht), Maurice Mittelmark (Bergen), Ronald Bayer
>(Columbia).
>
>Deadline for abstract submission: March 1, 2007
