DESCRIPTION:Dear all\,\n\nThe next MANCEPT research seminar will be on Th
 ursday 4 February\, when our very own Liam Shields will present on “The 
 Importance of Being Parents”. The seminar starts at 4pm in the Arthur Le
 wis Building 2nd floor boardroom. (This is where all seminars will be he
 ld for the rest of semester.)\n\nThe presentation of the paper will be f
 ollowed by a question and answer session that will finish at around 5.30
 pm.  We will go for a drink afterwards and then dinner at Urban Cookhous
 e. If you’d like to come to dinner\, please let me know before noon on W
 ednesday 3 February. An abstract for the talk is below\, along with the 
 speaker schedule for this semester.\nBest\,\nSteph\n\nABSTRACT: There ar
 e two types of view that we might use to evaluate the content and distri
 bution of child-rearing rights\, also known as custodial rights. One is 
 the child-centered view\, which focuses exclusively on the interests of 
 the child\, and the other is the dual-interest view\, which focuses both
  on the interests of the child and the parents. A key motivation for the
  dual-interest view is that it seems able to explain three powerful conv
 ictions regarding the distribution of child-rearing rights that the chil
 d-centered view cannot. In this paper I argue that currently advocated d
 ual-interest views cannot explain all three convictions (they only expla
 in one\, and the least important one at that) and that it looks unlikely
  that any dual-interest view could explain all of these convictions beca
 use some can only be explained at the expense of others. In light of thi
 s\, those drawn to the dual-interest view (like me) must consider how be
 st to proceed and\, in particular\, which of the convictions to accept a
 nd which to reject.\nRemaining Talks in Semester Two\n11 February - Bill
