<br>Call for Papers

<br>Research Ethics Committees: Origins, Development, and Beyond
<br>

<br>(Cardiff University, UK)
<br>Local autonomy versus centralised ethics:
<br>Policy disputes and the development of research ethics review in the UK
<br>

<br>Ethics by committee:
<br>Governing human experimentation in a liberal democracy, 1945-2000
<br>
<br>This workshop seeks to bring together scholars interested in medical research
<br>ethics and regulation to discuss their origins and development in various
<br>historical and national contexts. On an empirical level, focus might be placed
<br>on the policies, guidelines, institutions and organizations designed to impose
<br>ethical regulations on medical research on humans in different countries. This
<br>may include analyses of the social, political, economic and cultural
<br>conditions under which these regulatory frameworks and regimes appeared and
<br>developed.
<br>
<br>This workshop will highlight various analytical and theoretical perspectives
<br>on the development of medical research ethics. Our aim is to provide an
<br>opportunity to work together and acquire a close reading of ongoing research,
<br>by circulating papers/work-in-progress texts in advance, and with the possible
<br>production of a joint publication. We welcome contributions interested in the
<br>history of medical research ethics which represent a diversity of viewpoints
<br>from the humanities and the social sciences.
<br>
<br>We especially, but not exclusively, are interested in papers and
<br>work-in-progress presentations related to the following topics:
<br>
<br>
<br> * How has the practice of regulating medical research ethics evolved in
<br>different historical settings and contexts?
<br> * How can we further the understanding of various national regulation
<br>regimes? What are the determinants of their different trajectories - from
<br>local context to extra-national influences?
<br> * What actors and institutions have been involved, and what relations have
<br>been formed between the medical community, the political arena, and the
<br>media?
<br> * RECs as manifestations of changing political, cultural and moral
<br>conceptions that underlay a set of new governance regimes for medical research
<br>in the post-war era.
<br>
<br>Abstract deadline
<br>Abstracts for papers or work-in-progress presentations, of a maximum of 300
<br>words, should be submitted no later than March 22, 2019, to
