Abstract
The Interdisciplinary and Empirical Ethics Network was established in 2012 with funding from the Wellcome Trust in order to facilitate critical and constructive discussion around the nature of the disciplinary diversity within bioethics and to consider the ongoing development of bioethics as an evolving field of interdisciplinary study. In April 2013, the Interdisciplinary and Empirical Ethics Network organized a workshop at the Centre for Public Policy Research, King’s College London, which discussed the nature and possibility of professionalism within interdisciplinary and empirical bioethics. This paper provides a report of that workshop.
Highlights
Bioethics is a diverse, interdisciplinary field that accommodates a broad range of perspectives and traditions
In April 2013, the Interdisciplinary and Empirical Ethics Network (IEEN)’s third workshop was held at the Centre for Public Policy Research, King’s College London, to consider issues associated with professionalism in interdisciplinary and empirical bioethics
In an attempt to move beyond the complexities associated with such diversity, Søren turned his attention to professionalism in the case of the empirical bioethics researcher, suggesting that they ought to be: (1) capable of understanding and executing the appropriate empirical and analytic methods of empirical bioethics in order to produce rigorous, high-quality work; (2) aware of the relevant standards and requirements for bioethics research as well as potentially related subject areas and/or disciplines; (3) aware of the context in which their research will be published and/or applied and be able to contextulize their findings in relation to further important ethical questions
Summary
Interdisciplinary field that accommodates a broad range of perspectives and traditions.
