The SPHERE laboratory, in collaboration with CNRS and Université Paris Descartes, organizes a symposium entitled "Health in a hazardous environment - knowledge, responsibility and agentivity" on 8 and 9 January 2015 in Paris. This event will bring together human and social scientists (philosophers, geographers, historians, sociologists, ...), epidemiologists and biologists.

The themes of the conference will focus on 1) the construction of the evidence at the foundation of public action; 2) epidemiology and justice, accountability and probabilistic reasoning; 3) sensitive approaches to the environment; and 4) the landscape of fear of possible landscape and capabilities.
