Themes in the conference:
- What is our purpose in representing lives? Is it for some instrumental or greater good? How is this to be done and on what and whose terms?
- Is there, or should there be, a poetry in our work and writing, alongside the science? Is there an aesthetic/poetic as well as moral responsibility to represent the spirit by which lives may have been lived, in all their complexity, and a need we to beware of reductionism?
- What is the nature of our science?
