He will talk on "The Distinctiveness of Fittingness" (co-authored with Conor McHugh).
Professor Khader's research focuses on moral and political issues relevant to women in the global South.

She will deliver a talk titled "Transnational Feminisms and the Normativity Question".
Professor White will deliver a talk on "Self-Prediction in Practical Reasoning" which attempts to answer the question: "Are predictions about how one will freely and intentionally behave in the future ever relevant to how one ought to behave?"
