20 years of the JBI: reflections on an ethical project with Paul Komesaroff
The JBI Dialogues returns from hiatus to kickoff the 20 year anniversary celebrations of the Journal of Bioethical Inquiry (JBI)! Ever wondered about how an academic journal comes into being? What might we mean by 'bioethical inquiry'? What did the JBI set out to do and, 20 years on, how well is the JBI going in achieving its aims?
In this episode, chair of the JBI Editorial Council, Paul Komesaroff, takes us back to where it all began in the early 2000s, when a group of scholars had an idea for a new place to exchange ideas across disciplines: the Journal of Bioethical Inquiry.
Paul shares reflections and insights from 20 years of bioethical inquiry and scholarship. Paul talk to us about 'apolog-ethics', restless questioning, making simple things more complicated, and what bioethicists might contribute next.
