International Conference INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE THE ROLE OF CONSCIENCE AND CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION IN HEALTHCARE Seminar Room, Dunmore Lang College, 130 Herring Rd, Macquarie University, Macquarie Park, NSW 11-12th September, 2017 Charles Sturt University, School of Humanities and Social Sciences in association with the Macquarie University Research Centre for Agency, Values, and Ethics (CAVE) will host a conference on the role of conscience and conscientious objection in healthcare. International speakers Piers Benn (Heythrop College, University of London) Carolyn McLeod (Western University, Canada) Julian Savulescu (University of Oxford) Domestic speakers Steve Clarke (Charles Sturt University) Tony Coady (University of Melbourne) Dan Cohen (Charles Sturt University) Jim Franklin (University of New South Wales) Jeanette Kennett (Macquarie University) Doug McConnell (Charles Sturt University) Bernadette Tobin (Australian Catholic University) The conference aims to analyse the role of ‘conscience’ in the healthcare profession and the restrictions, if any, that should be placed on conscientious objection. Conscientious objection by health professionals has become one of the most pressing problems in healthcare ethics. Health professionals are often required to perform activities, such as abortion, that conflict with their own moral or religious beliefs. Their refusal can make it difficult for patients to have access to services they have a right to and can, more generally, create conflicts in the doctor-patient relationship. The widening of the medical options available today or in the near future is likely to increase and sharpen these conflicts. The conference will see the participation of experts in bioethics, philosophy, law and medicine, who will explore the topic of conscientious objection from secular, religious and feminist perspectives, and try to suggest solutions. Participation is free but numbers are strictly limited so registration is essential. To register, email Doug McConnell at [email protected] Organizers: Doug McConnell (Charles Sturt University), Jeanette Kennett (Macquarie University), and Steve Clarke (Charles Sturt University). The conference is supported by Charles Sturt University, the Australian Research Council Discovery Grant, ‘Conscience and conscientious objection in healthcare’ (DP150102068), and the Macquarie University Research Centre for Agency, Values and Ethics (CAVE).

  • Information for Applicants
    Information for applicants Position: Professor of Agriculture and Head of School (Agricultural and Wine Sciences) Message From The Vice-Chancellor and President Thank you for your interest in the role of Professor of Agriculture and Head of School (Agriculture and Wine Sciences) at Charles Sturt University. We are a highly distinctive institution in both Australian and global settings. At 30, Charles Sturt University is a relatively young institution with roots in regional Australia that has rapidly grown to service students and communities across Australia and the world. Charles Sturt Univerity is different because it is focused on its regional communities and it is genuinely distributed – there is no head office. Although it is a large institution in Australian terms, each campus retains a strong sense of community. We are a university with gumption and soul. In my view, this sense of personality and human connection is a critical strategic advantage in a world that is increasingly globalised and homogeneous. The Australian higher education sector has become intensely competitive. The Professor of Agriculture and Head of School (Agriculture and Wine Sciences) has a clear focus on quality learning, teaching and research, alongside ensuring that our approach is innovative and delivers to the needs of the agricultural sector. This role will not only embrace new technology but advocate its use to ensure we are developing sector- leading online, on-campus, undergraduate and postgraduate courses that exceed the expectations of current and future students. Our campuses are spread across New South Wales – there is a lot of travel and the organisational geography complicates the management challenge.
