Ethics in Practice | Introduction to the Podcast Series
It can be spirit-bending to work for health and research as our systems suffer from severe inequity and abjection. A global survey by Wellcome in 2020 also revealed that 78% of researchers felt that their work culture has become more competitive and unkind.
This deterioration is often felt most acutely by the youngest members of the hierarchy because they are relatively powerless to stand up against the interpersonal, institutional and systemic distortions they may witness or experience.
These questions of uncertainty, silence, complicity, and resistance are foundational: they determine our capacity to do right by others and ourselves on a day-to-day basis and yet they are not adequately covered in our discourse on bioethics. This podcast was therefore conceived as a space for health and research professionals to reflect on their experience of working by their values, and challenging the status quo through their scholarship and action.
We hope our listeners will find a language to understand their own moral journeys better and feel both, comforted and inspired by Ethics in Practice.
