Testing Times: A symposium on the ethics and epistemology of animal experimentation

 Macquarie University

20^th and 21^st September, 2011

Animal experimentation is a highly contentious practice. It generates ethical concerns due to harms to animals and epistemological worries because translations between animal experiments and human clinical medicine are problematic. In spite of these issues, the practice continues to expand.

This symposium will bring together scientists, philosophers, sociologists, veterinarians and others to discuss animal experimentation and develop new approaches to the ethical and epistemological challenges it generates.

Symposium registration is free, but places are limited
