Research Interests:

I have two main areas of research interest: ethics and evidence-based practice. The latter has led to my involvement in the Cochrane Collaboration and systematic reviews, particularly of complementary therapies and herbal remedies. My research in ethics has focused on issues of personhood, human dignity and moral reasoning. I am interested in their interplay with biotechnology, especially nanotechnology and stem cell research. Another general research interest is Disaster Bioethics: the ethical issues that arise for healthcare practitioners and researchers during disasters. The role of emotions in ethics is another research interest, especially in moral perception and how narratives help engage people with ethics. I am involved in projects examining the role of various types of narrative (novels, film, song lyrics, etc.) in ethics education. I am also interested in how religious belief influences ethics and the role of spirituality in health and healing.
