Research Supervisor Connect
Those working in health and biomedicine often find themselves in situations in which role-related obligations compete and conflict with each other, or with personal (financial and non-financial) desires. While it is widely recognised that such conflicts and can distort biomedicine and healthcare and undermine public trust, their definition, detection and management remain contested. As a result, disclosures of conflicts are often "ceremonial" and responses are often pejorative, inconsistent or superficial. This research opportunity will allow students to use both empirical and conceptual bioethics analysis to develop and test more robust ways of defining, critiquing and managing role-related conflicts.
