The workshop will be held on 14-15th November in Room 149, 7 Wally?s Walk. The workshop is sponsored by the Faculty of Arts Research Office and the Centre for Agency, Values and Ethics. With two keynotes from Assoc Prof Lynette Chua of the National University of Singapore and Assoc Prof Edmund W Cheng of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, this interdisciplinary workshop brings together scholars with research expertise on activism in the Asia-Pacific to explore how civil society actors navigate diverse authoritarian spaces. The workshop will posit alternative theories of civil society organising and activism with a view to building a nuanced and regionally specific understanding of activism. Prior to the conference, we have also organised a free screening of the documentary film Our Youth in Taiwan on Wednesday 13th November, 5.30-8.45pm at 10 Hadenfield Avenue in the T1 Theatre.

Abstract: Blocking the Continuum Argument for the Repugnant Conclusion by an appeal to incommensurabilities in value, as has been suggested by Parfit (2016), is an attractive option. But the relevant incommensurabilities (?imprecise equalities? in Parfit?s terminology) need to be very thoroughgoing to obtain this result: they need to be ?persistent? in the sense to be explained. While such persistency is highly atypical and might well seem to be problematic, I suggest how it can be accounted for if incommensurability is interpreted on the lines of the fitting-attitudes analysis of value relations. On this account, two items are incommensurable iff it is permissible to have divergent preferential attitudes towards them; for example, if it is permissible to prefer one to the other but also permissible to have the opposite preferece. It is easy to provide a modelling of this kind for persistent incommensurability. However, even if Parfit?s main suggestion can thus be defended, one of his substantive value assumptions ? the Simple View regarding the marginal value of added lives ? should be given up to avoid implausible implications.

This symposium brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to critically assess the concept of transrace and discuss its controversial emergence. Speakers will deconstruct the idea of transraciality, asking whether it has any value when it comes to understanding processes of racialisation, the politics of racial assignment and the role of diversity and inclusion in society. Key questions include: * What is ?transrace?? * Are claims of transraciality new, or is this merely a new term for an old concept? * Is it ethical to attempt to change one?s ?race?, whether through social and psychological transformation or through physical alteration? Is it possible? * Do the answers to these questions depend on which group one wishes to transition from and to, or on the motivations of the particular individual? * Does the concept of ?transrace? problematise racial classification, or does it reify race? * What are the ethical duties of people that are read as ?racially? ambiguous? * What is the relationship between ?transrace? and ?passing?? * What role does ethnicity play in claims of transraciality? * How can the social justice interests of affirmative action and reparations programs be balanced with the dignity interests of individuals who wish to self-classify? * What are the differences between the North American and the Australian context when it comes to the politics of racialisation and the question of identity choice? These are just some of the questions we will be asking at ?Critical Perspectives on ?Transrace??, which is taking place at Rigpa Sydney (158 Australia Street, Newtown) on the 29th of November, 9am-5:30pm. International guest speakers include Associate Professor Ann Morning (NYU), Professor Camille Gear Rich (USC) & Assistant Professor Rebecca Tuvel (Rhodes). Local speakers include Dr Yves Saint James Aquino (MQ), Dr Albert Atkin (MQ), Dr Bindi Bennett (USC), Dr Adam Hochman (MQ) & Taylor-Jai McAlister (MQ).

I critique recent attempts by Luara Ferracioli and Elizabeth Brake to vindicate the permissibility of procreative parenting in the face of this challenge. I then outline some considerations in favour of procreative parenting that have been largely ignored in the literature. I remain, however, agnostic about the strength of these considerations. To conclude, I motivate a metaethical position that I call "deontic fictionalism," and argue that it gives us a useful perspective on debates like this one.
