Research interests
I am an interdisciplinary bioethicsts primarily interested in medical ethics, but also various ethical questions associated with emerging biotechnologies. I am also concerned with the social and anthropological nature of morality and ethics, and the relationship between the intellectual field(s) of applied (bio)ethics and, one the one hand, fields of practice, such as medicine, and on the other, modes of governance, including professional regulation and broader political processes.
Available student projects
I am available to supervise projects on questions of medical ethics and some issues in medical sociology, primarily to students in the Medical School and the College of Health and Medicine, but others may get in touch if they wish to discuss something particular.
