Registration for the first Heritage in War conference, Cultural Heritage and the Ethics of War, is now open!

The conference takes place in Cambridge, 18-19 September 2019. Its aim is to begin to develop a robust account of the status of heritage in war by exploring philosophical work on such matters as incommensurability and incomparability, the nature and status of cultural heritage, risk imposition, and the reconstruction and replacement of damaged or destroyed heritage.

More information about the conference can be found here, and you can register for the conference here.

Professor Sophie-Grace Chappell has written a blog post for the scholarly blog The Junkyard, on How to be somebody else: imaginative identification and the limits of ethics. The post is the first part of three. You can find it here.
