Reparations: An Interdisciplinary Examination

The Department of Philosophy and the Forum for Philosophy and Public Policy at Queen's University in Canada are pleased to announce a conference, "Reparations: An Interdisciplinary Examination of Some Philosophical Issues", to be held on the Queen's campus from February 6-8, 2004. Coming from five continents, the well-known group of speakers will draw on their diverse expertise and experiences as economists, lawyers, philosophers, political theorists, psychologists, public policy specialists and
representatives of NGOs to examine a range of philosophical issues pertaining to four different reparations cases: reparations for victims of war, reparations for indigenous peoples, reparations for victims of colonialism, and reparations for victims of slavery.
