Furthermore, on July 17 Professor Kamm will be giving a graduate masterclass on some of her recent work.

The focus will be Professor Kamm's work in progress “The Place of Self in Duty and Supererogation” and on Kamm's forthcoming book, "Almost Over: Aging, Dying, Death". Particular emphasis will be placed on her chapter discussing the ethics of assisted suicide (see Chapter 7).
