Non-financial conflicts of interest in medicine Abstract: It is well-recognised that financial conflicts of interest (such as those stemming from industry funding) can distort medical research, publication, education, policymaking and practice, and most organisations have processes in place for identifying and managing them. Non-financial conflicts of interest (such as those stemming from beliefs and relationships) have similar effects, yet they are relatively neglected in organisational policies and processes. Some argue that this is as it should be?i.e., that non-financial conflicts cannot and should not be managed alongside financial ones. Some take this even further, arguing that there is no such thing as a non-financial conflict of interest. In this presentation, I will present the arguments against creating a false dichotomy between financial and non-financial conflicts of interest. After making the case that non-financial conflicts of interest exist, and that they can and should be managed alongside financial conflicts of interest, I will present some guiding principles for doing so in an ethically sound manner.

Christensen, UNSW Abstract: In this paper I will present and diagnose what Kristina Musholt, in her book Thinking of Oneself?From Non conceptual Content to the Concept of the Self (MIT Press, 2015) calls the problem of self-consciousness. This is in fact a very old problem, one reaching from Shoemaker and analytic philosophy on the one side, Henrich and the Heidelberg School on the other, through Sartre and phenomenology back to Fichte. My goal is to identify the assumption generating it and argue that it is false. I will end by sketching, in admittedly very hand-waving fashion, what this means for the notion of self-consciousness. My argument presupposes some understanding of the central thesis of my research?the thesis of intentionality inherently de se ?so I begin by elaborating the four claims constitutive of it. About the Presenter: I completed a B.A. (Hons) in Philosophy at Latrobe University in Melbourne, Australia. I then completed a M.A. at the Goethe-Universit?t, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. I also received my Dr. Phil. from the Goethe Universit?t, with a dissertation on Searle?s Theory of Speech Acts supervised by Karl-Otto Apel and J?rgen Habermas. I taught at the ANU from 1993 until 2000, then at the University of Sydney until 2007. In 2008 I returned to the ANU, where I remained until August, 2019. Since then, I have been doing research at the University of New South Wales. In the past, I have worked on German philosophy of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly, the phenomenology of Husserl and Heidegger; and on the philosophy of technology and sustainability. My current research, however, is much more mainstream analytic and focuses on the concept of intentionality de se.
