Articles from the JBI archives Ep 1: Anniversary collection picks (2011-2016) with former editor-in-chief Leigh Rich

11/25/24 • 46 min

This year, the Journal of Bioethical Inquiry turns 20! To celebrate the 20th anniversary, the JBI has released select articles from the archives as a special anniversary collection.
How would you pick out just a few articles to represent two decades of work in the JBI? What papers have stood out or stayed with you, and why? Editors-in-chief past and present were invited to nominate papers published during their tenures and to share their reasons for their choices.

On this first episode of the series on the anniversary collection, we are joined by Prof Leigh E Rich, former editor-in-chief of the JBI (2011-2016).

Leigh shares reflections and insights from 20 years of bioethical inquiry and scholarship. Leigh talks to us about doubt and its weaponisation, how to think about bioethics through pop culture (can 90s alternative music provide insights on abortion?), and their three nominated articles for the JBI's anniversary collection.

Send us a text

The JBI Dialogues returns from hiatus to kickoff the 20 year anniversary celebrations of the Journal of Bioethical Inquiry (JBI)! Ever wondered about how an academic journal comes into being? What might we mean by 'bioethical inquiry'? What did the JBI set out to do and, 20 years on, how well is the JBI going in achieving its aims?
In this episode, chair of the JBI Editorial Council, Paul Komesaroff, takes us back to where it all began in the early 2000s, when a group of scholars had an idea for a new place to exchange ideas across disciplines: the Journal of Bioethical Inquiry.

Paul shares reflections and insights from 20 years of bioethical inquiry and scholarship. Paul talk to us about 'apolog-ethics', restless questioning, making simple things more complicated, and what bioethicists might contribute next.
