CALL FOR PAPERS

RESISTING BORDERS II: REFUGEE AND MIGRANT HEALTH AND RESPONSIBILITIES

*Caring on the Landscape of Displacement:*

*Mapping Moral Experience in Health Services for Migrants*

June 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th 2020, 7 am – 9 am Eastern Standard Time

First convened in 2017, *Resisting Borders: Refugee and Migrant Health and
Responsibilities* is a no travel, online, no fee conference aimed at
discussing ethical issues surrounding responsibilities for the health of
refugees, asylum-seekers, and other migrant and displaced people.

We are now inviting contributions for a second conference to be held in
June 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th 2020, 7 am – 9 am Eastern Standard Time, as
a satellite to the World Congress of Bioethics.

As before, we will convene for a few hours during each of the four days.
The theme of the 2020 *Resisting Borders* conference will be Caring on the
Landscape of Displacement: Mapping Moral Experience in Health Services for
Migrants.

Submissions on any topic concerning migrant health and responsibility are
welcome, but we are especially interested in contributions – be they
academic research presentations, or narratives – that reflect the moral
experience of professionals (e.g. scholars, practitioners, advocates, or
policy-makers) whose work concerns the care of migrants at any point of
their journey and settlement, as well as the ethical issues that arise in
providing this care. We are also interested in experiences of those
engaging with the care of migrants indirectly through the development of
policy or journalism. Presentations might, for example, address ethical
issues regarding constraints in the provision of health or other services,
the identification of remains, involvement in medical exams linked to the
processing of asylum claims, provision of care in detention facilities or
other morally compromised/compromising settings, problems of dual or
confused loyalties.

*Submission before May 1st , 2020. [NOTE: There is a possibility that this
will be extended.]*

Please send abstracts of no longer than 500 words via our abstract
submission page (
https://resistingbordersconference.wpcomstaging.com/abstract/).

Please include the following information:

   - Name and affiliation of presenter
   - Title of presentation
   - Type of presentation: experiential; research; artistic
   - Email address
