I was about to send a message about this. It's fairly incredible.

> SPEAKERS & TITLES
> Eric Olson (Sheffield): ‘Is the foetus a part of the mother’s body?’
> John Dupre (Exeter): ‘Pregnancy as a bifurcating process’
> Rohan Lewis (Souhtampton): ‘No going back: biological perspectives on the

> Barry Smith (Buffalo): ‘Embryontology’
>
> DESCRIPTION
> Although philosophers have explored metaphysical questions related to
> pregnancy – most obviously abortion and the metaphysical status of the
> fetus – little philosophical attention has been paid to pregnancy itself.
> This workshop explores on of the main metaphysical questions posed by
> pregnancy: how do the entities involved in pregnancy - the embryo or fetus
> and the maternal organism relate to each other? Should the fetus be
> regarded as part of the mother, or as ‘merely inside ‘ or ‘surrounded by’
> the mother?
> This workshop is one of a series of four in the project Taking Pregnancy
> Seriously in Metaphysics, Ethics & Epistemology, funded by the Southampton
> Ethics Centre and the University of Southampton ‘Adventures in Research’
> Scheme, with added support from the British Society for Philosophy of
> Science and the Aristotelian Society. It will be followed by another
> workshops on Metaphysics on the 18th of September and was preceded by two
> workshops on Ethics and Epistemology on the 18th of June 2014 and the 13th
> of April 2015.

> NOTE ON THE GENDERED CONFERENCE CAMPAIGN
> I am aware that the line-up of this workshop violates the gendered
> conference campaign (
> https://feministphilosophers.wordpress.com/gendered-conference-campaign/).
> This is a particularly egregious violation, since the focus of this
> workshop is ‘taking pregnancy seriously’.
> I support the gendered conference campaign as, I would like to point out,
> does at least one of the speakers who took the trouble to point the failing
> out to me. A note of explanation is in order.
> This workshop was organized in conjunction with a second one, on
> pregnancy, identity and persistence, that will take place on the 18th of
> September.
> http://www.southampton.ac.uk/philosophy/news/events/2015/09/18-identity-and-persistence.page
> Speakers of either gender were invited for both workshops, but due to
> their eventual topic choice and for scheduling reasons (often involving the
> accommodation of child care duties), this workshop ends up with an all-male
> list. The September workshop, however, has an all-female one. Taken
> together, the workshops have a 50% gender balance. (If the two earlier
> workshops on ethics and epistemology in this project are taken into
> account, the speaker balance is 75% women, 25% men).
> I decided that that was good enough – and that the disadvantage of having
> two single-gendered line-ups was less important than accommodating the
> schedules and topic choice of the preferred speakers, as long as there is
> an acceptable gender balance in the workshops combined.
