Speaking from and to the growing movement among academics to become
involved with 'socially-engaged' work, this volume presents
first-person case studies of attempts to fix serious ethical
problems in medical practice and research. It highlights the
critical difference between the pundit approach to bioethics and
the interventional approach - the talkers and the doers - and
points to how abused and damaged the doers often end up. Chapters
cover a diverse set of topics, including the troubling influence of
for-profit businesses on public health policy, the politics of
exposing histories of unjust medical research, the challenges of
patient rights' work in sexuality and reproduction, collaborations
between NGOs and academics, methods for changing entrenched yet
harmful medical practices, engaging public policy through educating
governmental leaders, and whistleblowing. The trending interest in
the interplay of academia and advocacy and the growing importance
of 'socially-engaged' work by academics make this a timely and
much-needed resource.
