The symposium will conclude with a public lecture by Nikolas Rose.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif";color:black'>Program</span></b><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif";color:black'>“The Biological Imaginary: Science and the Somaticised Self”</span></b><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif";color:black'>Elizabeth Stephens, ARC Research Fellow<br>Centre for the History of European Discourses</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif";color:black'>The University of Queensland</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif";color:black'>“Avoiding the Seductions of Neurohype in Ethical Analyses of Addiction Neuroscience” </span></b><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif";color:black'>Wayne Hall, NHMRC Australia Fellow <br>UQ Centre for Clinical Research</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif";color:black'>The University of Queensland</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif";color:black'>“Brain Whisperers: New Forms of Consumer Monitoring on the Frontiers of Neuroscience”</span></b><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif";color:black'>Mark Andrejevic, ARC QE II Fellow</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif";color:black'>Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif";color:black'>The University of Queensland</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB","sans-serif";color:black'>“A Neurobiological Complex?
