Articles from the JBI archives: Anniversary collection picks (2011-2016) with former editor-in-chief Leigh Rich

November 25, 2024 • Journal of Bioethical Inquiry • Season 2 • Episode 2

This year, the Journal of Bioethical Inquiry turns 20! To celebrate the 20th anniversary, the JBI has released select articles from the archives as a special anniversary collection.

How would you pick out just a few articles to represent two decades of work in the JBI? What papers have stood out or stayed with you, and why? Editors-in-chief past and present were invited to nominate papers published during their tenures and to share their reasons for their choices.

On this first episode of the series on the anniversary collection, we are joined by Prof Leigh E Rich, former editor-in-chief of the JBI (2011-2016).

Leigh shares reflections and insights from 20 years of bioethical inquiry and scholarship. Leigh talks to us about doubt and its weaponisation, how to think about bioethics through pop culture (can 90s alternative music provide insights on abortion?), and their three nominated articles for the JBI's anniversary collection.
