WORKSHOP: An Interdisciplinary Conference on the Nature and Reality of Race bringing together Philosophical and Biomedical Perspectives, University of San Francisco, Spring 2014.

项目概述PI请求支持一个为期两天的会议，让种族哲学家与生物医学研究人员进行对话。在过去的20年里，种族作为一个生物医学范畴的使用以及种族哲学有了实质性的发展，但在这些领域的学者之间很少有意义的交流。学术价值会议议程旨在促进有效的、富有成果的讨论。它将建立一个结构，以便在每个领域的高素质和处境良好的关键行为体之间进行可能具有变革意义的讨论。它将通过实施一种促进互动的新策略来实现这一目标;特定的位置将被分配给受邀的客人，然后他们将对特定的观点进行辩论。潜在的更广泛的影响会议将促进跨学科，并将涉及非常丰富的种族和民族多样性的参与者。此外，PI将对会议过程进行录像，并将其发布在网站上。还将出版一份编辑汇编，其中包括讲习班的会议记录。这些材料将具有广泛的兴趣，远远超出了会议所涉及的学科，包括公众成员。

Project Overview The PI requests support for a two-day conference to bring philosophers of race into conversation with biomedical researchers. Within the last 20 years, there have been substantial developments in the use of race as a biomedical category as well as in the philosophy of race, but there have been few meaningful exchanges between scholars in these areas.Intellectual Merit The conference agenda is designed to promote effective, fruitful discussions. It will create a structure for potentially transformative discussions between highly qualified and well-situated key actors in each field. It will do so by implementing a novel strategy for promoting interaction; particular positions are to be assigned to invited guests who are then to argue for or against particular points of view.Potential Broader Impacts The conference will promote interdisciplinarity and will involve participants with very substantial racial and ethnic diversity. In addition, the PI will videotape the conference proceedings, and she will post them on a web site. An edited collection will also be published consisting of workshop proceedings. These materials will be of broad interest well outside of the disciplines involved in the conference including members of the general public.
