Course description
Conceptual and theoretical approaches to ethical issues in translational health sciences
This module will examine conceptual and theoretical approaches to broad ethical issues (including social and political contexts) in translational health sciences. We will introduce you to key traditions of thought and methodologies in ethics and applied philosophy. You will be encouraged to view research and health science in relation to the nature of society, its values and its institutions. Our focus will be on the practical application and integration of ethical principles to research and policy challenges.
The module will consist of a number of themes and topics, each of which will be explored using cases and real-world examples relevant to translational health science. For example:
-
Methodologies in ethics: normative conceptual analysis and empirical ethics
-
Research ethics and governance: managing research in society
-
Data use and data sharing: access, benefit and common purpose
-
Health, justice and the social: managing health inequalities and justice
-
Health technologies, hypes and hopes: the ethics and culture of science
These topics will develop your competence in pursuing careful reflection, conceptual clarity and coherent argumentation in the practical context of translational health science.
The last date for receipt of complete applications is 5pm Friday 17th December 2021. Regrettably, late applications cannot be accepted.
