Ethics by committee:
Governing human experimentation in a liberal democracy, 1945-2000
This workshop seeks to bring together scholars interested in medical research
ethics and regulation to discuss their origins and development in various
historical and national contexts. On an empirical level, focus might be placed
on the policies, guidelines, institutions and organizations designed to impose
ethical regulations on medical research on humans in different countries. This
may include analyses of the social, political, economic and cultural
conditions under which these regulatory frameworks and regimes appeared and
developed.
This workshop will highlight various analytical and theoretical perspectives
on the development of medical research ethics. Our aim is to provide an
opportunity to work together and acquire a close reading of ongoing research,
by circulating papers/work-in-progress texts in advance, and with the possible
production of a joint publication. We welcome contributions interested in the
history of medical research ethics which represent a diversity of viewpoints
from the humanities and the social sciences.
We especially, but not exclusively, are interested in papers and
work-in-progress presentations related to the following topics:
How has the practice of regulating medical research ethics evolved in
different historical settings and contexts?
How can we further the understanding of various national regulation
regimes? What are the determinants of their different trajectories - from
local context to extra-national influences?
What actors and institutions have been involved, and what relations have
been formed between the medical community, the political arena, and the
media?
RECs as manifestations of changing political, cultural and moral
conceptions that underlay a set of new governance regimes for medical research
in the post-war era.
