But there is an explanation at the end of the message... I saw it just now.

>> 21 July, University of Southampton, UK.

>> 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
>> emergence of biological identity in reproduction’
>> 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.
