Ethics in Practice – Test
Ethics in Practice - Test
Podcast Description
This podcast grows from our understanding that “bioethics” is not only a branch of governance or philosophy but a space to follow our moral conviction too. We recognise that it is not easy to navigate the doubt, anger, despair and grief inherent in working with, and within, distorted systems to change them. We therefore invite our guests to talk candidly about the complexity of practising ethics in medicine and research. How do they move towards hope, integrity, and justice? Their stories are sector-specific but really, this podcast is for anyone who seeks social value in their work.

The podcast focuses on critical themes within bioethics including social justice, alternative epistemologies, and moral integrity in healthcare systems. Specific episodes explore topics like the role of feminist theory in medical ethics and indigenous perspectives on health, urging listeners to consider ideas such as the importance of living well with changes in health rather than merely seeking cures.

We are talking to Nicole and Christina about something quite fundamental in this episode: how do you resist hierarchies and create space for alternative ways of thinking and being in academia? We need epistemic pluralism to end the stubborn cycles of exclusion, poor problem-solving, and loss.
They take us through Buddhist philosophy, feminism, crip theory, and indigenous law in the sub-Arctic region to close with three provocations that you can hold onto not only for this episode but our whole series:
- What if health isn’t about curing our body of the changes it endures? But about living well with those changes instead?
- What if research isn’t an act of knowledge creation? But a service to those who hold knowledge that is true for their context?
- What if bioethics as governance is not rooted in prevention of harm but reciprocity? Where we recognise how our well-being is squarely dependent on that of others including Nature itself.
