Feminist Bioethicists, are you interested in spotlighting you and your work in the IJFAB Blog? We want to hear from you! The editors of the IJFAB Blog are starting a new series that spotlights researchers at all career stages working in feminist bioethics, broadly construed. The spotlight is an opportunity to be interviewed for the blog in a flexible format that can be tailored to each spotlighted scholar.

Our aim is to reflect the methodological, disciplinary, topical, and individual diversity of the field and the many people doing, and ways to take, feminist approaches to bioethics. Read on for more details on what we are looking for and how to be a spotlighted scholar on the blog…

Early Career & Emerging Scholars

We are interested in featuring emerging and early career scholars (students, post-docs, early career faculty, independent scholars) who situate their work within or related to feminist approaches to bioethics. We want to know what work you are doing, how you think about feminist approaches to bioethics and how you and your work are informed by the history of feminist bioethics and are shaping the future of feminist approaches to bioethics.

Established Scholars & Leaders

The spotlight series is also an opportunity to hear from established scholars in the field. Many blog readers will already be familiar with your work, and the spotlight series is an opportunity for readers to learn from leaders and scholars who have helped shaped feminist approaches to bioethics, to better understand the history and evolution of feminist approaches to bioethics, and for established scholars to highlight the new directions and scholars they are looking to as the future of feminist approaches to bioethics.

How to Participate

The scholar spotlight will be in an interview format. We’ll send you a list of questions from which to select and respond. Interviews should be kept to a reasonable blog length and we’ll work with you to condense for space and clarity as needed. We welcome including links to your own scholarship and that of others you wish to highlight.

If interested in being interviewed or if you have a scholar to nominate (of any career stage and setting) please contact Elizabeth Lanphier who is the IJFAB blog editor point person for the spotlight series. You can email her at elizabeth.lanphier@cchmc.org.

We look forward to learning about and featuring both new and longstanding scholars working within feminist approaches to bioethics through this spotlight series.
