Bioethics Lecturer Sara May Bergstresser, Ph.D. and Academic Director Robert Klitzman, M.D. were recently published in the Asian Bioethics Review for their research titled “What Does It Mean for a Case to be ‘Local’?: the Importance of Local Relevance and Resonance for Bioethics Education in the Asia-Pacific Region.”
In the research, they present findings from the use of local cases from the Asia-Pacific region to more accurately define and justify what makes a case local, specific topics found to be best explained through these standards and how to identify relevance in a local case. The research is a response to much of the contemporary bioethics education being developed through the lens of Euro-American context as other global regions continue to join the field. Example cases were sourced from Hong Kong, Australia, Pakistan, and Malaysia. You can learn more about their research here.
