DESCRIPTION:The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Research Group on Health and Law (RGHL) invites you 
 to its final seminar of the 2014-2015 academic year\, presented by RGHL me
 mbers Alana Klein and Daniel Weinstock.\nSpaces are limited and a light lu
 nch will be served. Kindly RSVP to rghl.law [at] mcgill.ca to attend.\nAbs
 tract\nThis workshop will consider the growing tendency among public actor
 s to reframe what were once considered morally controversial questions in 
 terms of the reduction of harm.  Drawing on the examples of contemporary d
 ebates and legal developments around drug use\, sex work\, and physician a
 ssisted dying\, this workshop will consider the potential benefits\, risks
  and consequences of engaging with controversial issues through the logic 
 and lens of harm reduction.  For example\, it will consider what motivates
  this type of framing\, whether it can help achieve overlapping consensus 
 around these fractious issues\, as well as the moral limits of the use of 
 this kind of reasoning in political and legal deliberation.\nThe speakers
 \nProfessor Alana Klein teaches and researches in health law\, criminal la
 w\, and human rights. The position of marginalized groups and individuals 
 in decentralized and privatized systems and the role of accountability req
 uirements in governance and decision-making are primary preoccupations in 
 her research. Prior to joining the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Faculty of Law\, she was a senio
 r policy analyst with the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network\, where she work
 ed on HIV/AIDS and immigration\, legal and other barriers to harm-reductio
 n programs for people who use illegal drugs\, and law reform to promote th
 e rights of women and girls in the context of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Afri
 ca.\nLe professeur Daniel Weinstock est titulaire d’une Chaire James McGil
