Global Health Research in an Unequal World: Ethics Case Studies from Africa

Global Health Research in an Unequal World: Ethics Case Studies from Africa by Gemma Aellah, Tracey Chantler, P. Wenzel Geissler
2016 | ISBN: 1786390043 | English | 288 pages | PDF | 6 MB

This book is a collection of fictionalized case studies of everyday ethical dilemmas and challenges encountered in the process of conducting global health research in places where the effects of political and economic inequality are particularly evident. It is a training tool to fill the gap between research ethics guidelines and their implementation "on the ground." The cases focus on "relational" ethics: ethical actions and ideas that continuously emerge through relations with others, rather than being determined by bioethics regulation. They are based on stories and experiences collected by a group of social anthropologists who have worked with leading transnational medical research organizations across Africa in the past decade. Accompanied by guidelines, discussion questions and selected further readings, the book provides a flexible resource for training and self-study for people engaged in health research with, universities, international collaborative sites and NGOs – and for everyone interested in the realities of global health research today.
