The Department of Nursing of the University of Ioannina, in association with the International Philosophy of Nursing Society (IPONS), is delighted to welcome you to the 27^th International Nursing Philosophy Conference in the city of Ioannina in Greece on 11-13 September 2024.

The central theme of this year’s conference is “Wondering about Nursing: the bedrock of nursing philosophy”. Initially inspired by Socrates’s quote that “wisdom begins with wonder,” this year’s conference aims to share specific and unique experiences, sentiments and responses that created sudden and qualitative awareness of the world of others and elicit questions, queries and a quest for signification and meaning-making in the context of nursing. Thus illuminating and making visible the uniqueness of nurses’ experiences and actively demonstrating how nurses meaningfully, creatively, and intentionally order otherwise disparate events, aspects and particularities in their experiences to provide convincing explanations and qualitatively powerful meanings for themselves and the people, families, and communities they care for and with. Finally, the conference aims to be sufficiently interactive to allow for dialogical and dialectical examinations of presented experiences, meanings and explanations of unique cases to elaborate further, enrich with other experiences and potentially re-order the constitutive components of events or experiences, thereby transforming wonder into wondering and then into nursing knowledge(s) and nursing practices.

We look forward to exchanging and sharing the creative processes of constructing meaning(s) from nursing experiences and/or introducing meaning-making frameworks and communicating these insights in open and purposeful discussions and debates that persuasively argue points in a collegial and friendly atmosphere. This will form the bedrock of this year’s conference storyline and, hopefully, demonstrate nursing philosophy in action.

The conference will take place at the Karolos Papoulias Conference Centre at the University of Ioannina (and hybrid via an online platform). The inaugural conference ceremony on 11th September will take place in the ancient theatre of Dodoni (https://ancienttheatersofepirus.gr/en/theatre/theatro-dodonis/ ) erected in the 5^th century BC and cannot be transmitted online.

In the spirit of transdisciplinary collaboration and imagination, we invite you to participate in a colloquium on Speculative Ethics for Care Futures Otherwise.

The colloquium will be held virtually on October 13^th, 2023 at 9am pacific, noon eastern, 5pm UK, and 6pm Berlin time.

The focus of the colloquium is on how multiple ways of knowing, perceiving and being in the world can exist simultaneously, rather than imposing a particular and fixed perspective of the world which has implications for how care is enacted. Multiple care systems can exist simultaneously, but we choose which ones we privilege – the biomedical, neoliberal, cisgender, heterosexual, white supremacist model of extractive healthcare while forsaking relational, holistic, Indigenous, ecological, integrated, and planetary care. Therefore, this colloquium engages immediately with the speculative ethics of care. The Colloquium panelists include distinguished scholars from multiple disciplines.
