On 30th-31st July, University of Tokyo hosted a symposium on Philosophy of Mind and Mental Illness at its Komaba Campus. This post describes the talks presented at the symposium.

We published the 2nd volume of UTCP-Uehiro Booklet, Philosophy of Disability & Coexistence: Body, Narrative, and Community, edited by Kohji Ishihara and Minae Inahara.

On January 31st, we hold a one-day international workshop event, “Ethical Issues in Psychiatry Workshop.” Half of the talks were given by philosophers/ethicists, and the other half were given by active clinicians, which characterizes the interdisciplinary nature of the workshop.

On 20th November, 2012, Dr Joel Krueger, a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Subjectivity Research, University of Copenhagen, gave a talk entitled ‘Emotions and Social Perception: Lessons from Moebius Syndrome’.
