ASBH 12th Annual Meeting
October 21-24, 2010
Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel
San Diego, CA
Health and Community
Bioethics has been particularly concerned with the rights and welfare of individual patients and has often been criticized for not attending sufficiently to problems related to the health of populations. But there is little doubt that bioethics and the humanities have much to contribute to concerns connected to groups as well as individuals. We thus invite scholars to address health, disability, and disease as it affects local, national, and global groups. Healthcare professionals, researchers, humanists, and lawyers, can bring experiences, expertise, and interests that shape our understanding of the health of communities as it informs and is informed by ethics, law, politics, medicine, and the humanities. Proposals that critically examine issues related to social groups--such as the appropriate distribution of societal resources, the ways in which literature, film, and the arts inform concerns about the health of populations and our understanding of communities, healthcare professionals' duty to warn in cases of communicable disease (e.g., HIV/AIDS), the fair distribution of health resources (e.g., medical supplies, water, etc.) during a natural disaster, the various contributions of the arts and the humanities to the health of communities, the social determinants of health and disease, healthcare disparities, the ways historical perspectives can bear on present day policy issues, and conflicts of values between different populations--are welcomed.
The Call for Proposals for the 2010 Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA from October 21-24 is now open! Submission deadline is 4pm Central time March 3, 2010.
In collaboration with the American Society of Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH), the March of Dimes is pleased to announce the annual Young Scholars Award in Perinatal Bioethics. Read here for more information if you are interested in being considered for this award.
