The Visiting Researcher Program and Bioethics Education

Abstract

Laura Bishop speaks about the KIE's Visiting Researcher program that began when the Institute was founded and continues to the present day. She also mentions the KIE's work in education at the graduate, professional, and secondary school levels. Dr. Bishop focuses on the expansion of the KIE's involvement in undergraduate bioethics education to the co-curricular and extracurricular space with the GU Undergraduate Bioethics Club (2012), the Philosophy and Bioethics Minor (first graduates in 2014), the GU Bioethics Bowl Debate Team (2013), and the Georgetown’s annual Undergraduate Bioethics Research Symposium (now in its 7th year). The minor and the debate team are collaborations with the GU Philosophy Department.
