CALL FOR PAPERS
National Undergraduate Bioethics Conference XI
Union College
April 4th and 5th 2008
Each year the American Society for
Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH) selects a
school to host an undergraduate
conference on bioethics. It is a celebration
of undergraduate research and an
opportunity to introduce a new generation
of students to the field of
bioethics. In 2008 the event will be hosted by
one of the nation's oldest
liberal arts colleges, Union College, in
Schenectady, New York. Reflecting
the ASBH's commitment to the medical
humanities, the theme for this year's
conference is "The Human Use of Human
Beings in Medicine and
Science."
Tod Chambers, ASBH President and author of Narrative
Bioethics and Prozac as
a Way of Life, will open the conference
with a talk on "Witches, Punks, and
Bioethicists." Another keynoter will be
the award-winning journalist Harriet
Washington, who was a Research Fellow in
Medical Ethics at Harvard Medical
School and is the author of Medical
Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical
Experimentation on Black Americans
from Colonial Times to the Present. Also
addressing the conference will
be the prominent medical historian Susan
Lederer, Chair of the Department of
Medical History and Bioethics at the
University of Wisconsin School of
Medicine and Public Health, author of
Frankenstein: Penetrating the
Secrets of Nature.
In addition to student presentations and keynote
speeches, a series of
panels and workshops will introduce students to
bioethics and bioethicists.
Editors and former executive editors of leading
journals (AJOB, Bioethics, The Hastings Center Report) will
discuss
behind the scenes at a journal. Bioethicists based in medical
facilities and
research institutes will share their experiences, as will
medical students
and bioethics graduate students. Adding to the excitement
will be a
"Bioethics Bowl," a series of formal debates on bioethical topics
by teams
from Dartmouth, the National Hispanic University, Union College,
University
of Miami, and other schools.
Please encourage interested undergraduates
to join the festivities and/or to
submit papers, skits, plays or other
presentations. For information on
submitting abstracts or proposals please
