Here is also a link to the translation of The Swedish National Ethics Councils’ full report on Ethical choices in a pandemic:
Bo Petersson, Professor emeritus of philosophy at Linköping University, Sweden, and since many years member of Societas Ethica, has died in the age of 79. Bo wrote his PhD thesis 1973 on the Swedish philosopher Axel Hägerström’s meta-ethical theory and was an expert on the so called Uppsala school of philosophy. Bo was also interested in applied ethics. He published important books on research ethics and was a member of several Swedish research ethics committees.
Bo was one of the founders of the Centre for Applied Ethics at Linköping University. He was a brilliant philosopher and a warm, friendly and humble person. Those of us who were fortunate to be among his friends miss him immensely.

Call For Papers and special conditions for members of Societas Ethics
The 2020 Annual Meeting of the Society of Christian Ethics is scheduled to begin the evening of Thursday, January 9, 2020, at the Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel.
As part of a reciprocal, pilot program started in 2017 aimed at encouraging a more global exchange of ideas, members in good standing of Societas Ethica are eligible to submit proposals to this conference without becoming members of the Society of Christian Ethics. Should this proposal be selected for inclusion in the SCE conference, the Societas Ethica member may register at the member level for the SCE conference (again without becoming a member), though of course they would be responsible for their own travel related expenses.
If you are interested in learning more about this about this annual conference and the SCE proposal submission process, a list of relevant documents is posted at https://scethics.org/call-proposals. Proposals for papers, panels and posters are due Monday, March 18, 2019. The conference language is English.
