Bioethics as Ethical Engagement.
Call for Papers .pdf
As an (inter)discipline bioethics has always represented an engagement between the academy’s ‘two cultures’ as well as an attempt to bring the ethical issues raised by bioscience and healthcare to the attention of a wider audience, including that of the general public. Continuing the theme of self-reflection that has been a mark of previous conferences in this series we seek papers which represent the current diversity of bioethics and raise questions regarding the engagement of bioethical research at various levels. Empirical methods are becoming more central to the discipline; the influence of various humanities can be felt in bioethical research and in the classroom; the cultural location of bioethical and medical practices are becoming clearer; and an understanding of bioethical and medical ethical history is beginning to emerge. How does such a diverse body of research achieve a sense of unity amongst its own practitioners and engage with various interest groups and publics? Furthermore bioethics must ensure that it is open to engagement by those interest groups and the public in a dialectic fashion rather than adopting a didactic role. Topics for papers may include but are not limited too:
The media and the public face of bioethics.
Applied ethics as public philosophy
The Arts and Bioethics.
The challenge of interdisciplinarity and the languages of (bio)ethics.
The history of medical, healthcare and bio- ethics and the institutions of healthcare.
Humanities in the healthcare ethics classroom.
Researching Ethical Healthcare Practice.
Moral Leadership and the Healthcare Institution.
Communicating new approaches to Bioethics
From academic research to the professionals classroom.
The new professionalism, interprofessionalism, and ethics.
Bioethics, the 3rd sector and the interest group.
Proposals for papers not more than 350 words are invited. Submission is by email only and by the deadline is Monday the 11th of May 2009. Please email word attachements to postgrad.bioethics.conf.2009@gmail.com. Papers given at the conference will be considered for publication in Bioethics.
