Throughout the Fall semester, the Center’s research interns and Brown scholars have worked to update all of our topical bibliographies, and in some cases to reorganize them for increased usefulness. While these bibliographies are created with a broad readership in mind, educators in particular will find these as helpful resources to guide student research into bioethical topics. We encourage you to check out the updates at: http://cbhd.org/resources.
In September, CBHD hosted a strategic planning meeting to further develop an initiative in global women’s health. Facilitated by Teri Goudi, the session focused on the issue of disparities in healthcare, discrimination against girls in the womb, and commodification of women’s bodies during their reproductive years. The planning group brainstormed on the problem, the solution, the theme, telling the story, and collaboration. Next steps for the initiative will be unveiled in 2012.
