Caring discourse 2020 : 2nd Conference on Caring discourse: Conceptual, ethical and practical challenges to the shared decision-making paradigm

Call for Posters

We invite you to submit posters for the 2nd conference on “Caring discourse: Conceptual, ethical and practical challenges to the shared decision-making paradigm”. Under the broad label ‘Caring discourse’, this year’s conference will focus specifically on the shared decision-making paradigm, to discuss current conceptual, ethical and empirical challenges. We are particularly interested in posters on this specific theme; however, posters on any topic related to communication in healthcare, encompassing various disciplines (such as psychology, social sciences, linguistics, philosophy, communication, education, etc.) are also welcome.

While welcoming submissions from participants across the career span, we would like to encourage the submission of posters especially from postgraduate researchers (Masters, Doctoral and Post-doctoral researchers). Post-doctoral researchers must be in the early stages of their career (no more than 5 years since PhD completion).

A panel of judges will evaluate the posters along two basic criteria – scientific content and presentation style – and will decide on the “Best Poster Award”.

Deadline for Submission: 20 March 2020
Notification of Acceptance: 15 April 2020
