SUMMARY:Lainie Ross: Deceased Donor Kidney Allocation: Equity\, Efficiency and Unintended Consequences
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT\n\nIn her talk\, Ross describes three ways that kidney donations are allocated to those in need of a kidney transplant\, including the Equal Opportunity Supplemented by Fair Innings (EOFI) method. She will discuss the conceptions of efficiency and equity that are employed by each model\, and evaluate whether EOFI could conform to the National Organ Transplant Act criteria in today’s conditions of kidney scarcity and donor-candidate age mismatch. \nSPEAKER PROFILE\n\n\nLainie Ross is the Carolyn and Matthew Bucksbaum Professor; Professor of Pediatrics\, Medicine\, Surgery and The College; and Associate Director of the Maclean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics\, at the University of Chicago. She lectures frequently at national and international conferences\, where she addresses ethical controversies in medical practice and research. She is the author of over 100 research articles on ethical and policy issues in organ transplantation\, genetic testing\, pediatrics\, and human subjects protections. She serves on the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Human Research Protection (SACHRP)\, and as the chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Bioethics Executive Committee. \nRead more about Lainie Ross. \nVIDEO

SUMMARY:Eric Schliesser: What Happened to Knightian (and Keynesian) Uncertainty Post WWII?
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT\n\nIn this talk\, Schliesser discusses the displacement of Knightian uncertainty from economics after 1945 by two new strategies. He will look at this discarded theory that could no longer be articulated\, or even recognized\, by the new theories that displaced it. Schliesser will also discuss the recent return to the concept of economic uncertainty in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008. \nSPEAKER PROFILE\n\n\nEric Schliesser is BOF Research Professor of Philosophy at Ghent University. He has published widely on Newton\, Huygens and their eighteenth-century reception (especially Hume and Adam Smith) as well as in the philosophy of economics. He is the co-editor of the forthcoming Oxford Handbook on Isaac Newton (Oxford University Press). \nRead more about Eric Schliesser. \n  \nVIDEO
