In this gathering Anne Boyd Rioux has chosen fiction over the
course of Constance Fenimore Woolson's life. Woolson's stories
travel from the rural Midwest to the deep South and then across the
Atlantic to Italy and Britain.
Soon after its publication on 30 September 1868, Little Women
became an enormous international bestseller. When Anne Boyd Rioux
read it in her twenties, it had a powerful effect on her and
through teaching it, she has seen its effect on many others. In
Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, she recounts Louisa May Alcott's inspiration
for the book and examines why this tale set in the American Civil
War has resonated through time. Alcott's novel has moved
generations of women, amongst them writers such as Simone de
Beauvoir, J.K. Rowling, Cynthia Ozick and Ursula K. Le Guin. Rioux
sees the novel's beating heart in its portrayal of family
resilience and its look at the struggles of girls growing into
women. In gauging its current status, she shows why it remains a
book with such power that people carry its characters and spirit
throughout their lives.

Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840-1894), who contributed to Henry
James's conception of his heroine Isabelle Archer of The Portrait
of a Lady, was one of the most accomplished American writers of the
nineteenth century. The best known (and most misunderstood) facts
of her life are her relationship with James and her suicide in
Venice. Uncovering new sources, Anne Boyd Rioux provides a fuller
picture of Woolson's life, her fight against depression, her
sources for her writing and her capacity for love and joy. As an
expatriate in Europe, Woolson explored women's thwarted ambitions
while challenging the foremost male writers of her era. Rioux
reveals an exceptional artist who pursued and received serious
recognition despite the stigma attached to female authors.
A fascinating glimpse into the world of Medieval Monasticism.
Durham Cathedral is one of the most complete sets of monastic
buildings in Europe, housing clues to the life of a prominent and
thriving medieval Benedictine community. Through its buildings, and
the books, treasures and records housed within, the world of
Durham's monastic past comes alive once more, offering clues to the
history of this vital Norman stronghold, and providing a critical
exemplar of the medieval monastic life. "In republishing this
excellent little book, we hope that the monastic tradition that was
lived at Durham for nearly five centuries will come alive for
contemporary readers. Today, Benedictine values continue to
undergird our life as a Christian community in Durham ...so I hope
that this book will help people of all ages to understand more
about this cherished aspect of our history and heritage, and that
through its insights into the past, it will add to visitors'
enjoyment of the Cathedral and its precincts today." - The Very
Revd Michael Sadgrove, Dean of Durham from the foreword
This book represents my experience teaching graduate students in
Biomedical Science at Hood College. Being science majors, the
students have a limited background in philosophy and ethics. Most
of the graduate students are employed at area research laboratories
while also pursuing a Master of Science degree. Their practical
day-to-day experience in scientific research is helpful in
discussions of responsible conduct of research cases. Being aware
of increased cases of misconduct the United States established the
Office of Research Integrity (ORI). Their publication, Introduction
to the Responsible Conduct of Research, defines misconduct as
fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism. Concern for the breach
of public trust with repercussions in scientific funding has led to
mandates for courses in ethics for students pursuing a scientific
career. In addition, the Human Genome Project megaproject funded
Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications Research
(www.genome.gov/ELSI/) recognizing that the genetic information
produced by the project would come with applied ethical dilemmas.
Teaching can be understood as conveying knowledge from generation
to generation. Likewise systems of morality are collective
acquisitions built up over millennia with social norms and values
that aim to maintain social order. Research does not support the
premise that knowing the rules of conduct will prevent misconduct.
Indeed, compliance with rules can give a false sense of security,
especially if the ethical reasoning grounding the rules is not
understood. Therefore, I try to sketch a path through the potential
phases and avenues of a scientific career, imagining that a person
may do basic research, serve on ethics committees, and engage the
public in ethical use of new advances in genetics. As a result the
content of this text is divided into three parts. The first part
deals with foundational material on science and ethics and cases
that highlight proper scientific professional conduct. The second
part deals with clinical research through which a research
discovery is moved to the bedside of patients and the ethical
parameters of the transition. The third part sketches the ethical
dilemmas evolving from progress in genetic information to clinical
applications. Helping students find a moral compass, a grounding of
why one ought to behave in ethical ways in their profession and
more generally in life is challenging. Doing so increases their
awareness and mine of potential dilemmas and how to deal with them
ethically.
