The History and Bioethics of Medical Education: "You've Got to Be
Carefully Taught" continues the Routledge Advances in the History
of Bioethics series by exploring approaches to the teaching of
bioethics from disparate disciplines, geographies, and contexts.
Van Rensselaer Potter coined the phrase "Global Bioethics" to
define human relationships with their contexts. This and subsequent
volumes return to Potter's founding vision from historical
perspectives and asks, how did we get here from then? The
patient-practitioner relationship has come to the fore in
bioethics; this volume asks: is there an ideal bioethical
curriculum? Are the students being carefully taught and, in turn,
are they carefully learning? This volume will appeal to those
working in both clinical medicine and the medical humanities, as
vibrant connections are drawn between various ways of knowing.

Interdisciplinary research is a rewarding enterprise, but there are
inherent challenges, especially in current anthropological study.
Anthropologists investigate questions concerning health, disease,
and the life course in past and contemporary societies,
necessitating interdisciplinary collaboration. Tackling these 'big
picture' questions related to human health-states requires
understanding and integrating social, historical, environmental,
and biological contexts and uniting qualitative and quantitative
data from divergent sources and technologies. The crucial interplay
between new technologies and traditional approaches to anthropology
necessitates innovative approaches that promote the emergence of
new and alternate views. Beyond the Bones: Engaging with Disparate
Datasets fills an emerging niche, providing a forum in which
anthropology students and scholars wrestle with the fundamental
possibilities and limitations in uniting multiple lines of
evidence. This text demonstrates the importance of a multi-faceted
approach to research design and data collection and provides
concrete examples of research questions, designs, and results that
are produced through the integration of different methods,
providing guidance for future researchers and fostering the
creation of constructive discourse. Contributions from various
experts in the field highlight lines of evidence as varied as
skeletal remains, cemetery reports, hospital records, digital
radiographs, ancient DNA, clinical datasets, linguistic models, and
nutritional interviews, including discussions of the problems,
limitations, and benefits of drawing upon and comparing datasets,
while illuminating the many ways in which anthropologists are using
multiple data sources to unravel larger conceptual questions in
anthropology.
Bioarchaeology of Marginalized People amplifies the voices of
marginalized or powerless individuals. Following previous work done
by physical anthropologists on the biology of poverty, this volume
focuses on the voices of past actors who would normally be subsumed
within a cohort or whose stories represent those of the minority.
The physical effects of marginalization - manifest as skeletal
markers of stress and disease - are read in their historical
contexts to better understand vulnerability and the social
determinants of health in the past. Bioarchaeological,
archaeological, and historical datasets are integrated to explore
the varied ways in which individuals may be marginalized both
during and after their lifespan. By focusing on previously excluded
voices this volume enriches our understanding of the lived
experience of individuals in the past. This volume queries the
diverse meanings of marginalization, from physical or social
peripheralization, to identity loss within a majority population,
to a collective forgetting that excludes specific groups.
Contributors to the volume highlight the histories of individuals
who did not record their own stories, including two disparate
Ancient Egyptian women and individuals from a high-status
Indigenous cemetery in British Columbia. Additional chapters
examine the marginalized individuals whose bodies comprise the
Robert J. Terry anatomical collection and investigate inequalities
in health status in individuals from Canada, the United States, and
the United Kingdom. Modern clinical population health research is
examined through a historical lens, bringing a new perspective to
the critical public health interventions occurring today. Together,
these papers highlight the role that biological anthropologists
play both in contributing to and challenging the marginalization of
past populations.
