Teaching & mentoring

I have taught many courses in bioethics and anthropology, and have mentored students in bioethics, genetic counseling, anthropology, and medicine.

I currently co-direct the PhD in Bioethics at Case Western Reserve University and also lead the Research Ethics concentration for our MA program in Bioethics and Medical Humanities. I teach several graduate courses, including Reproductive Ethics and Justice and Ethical Issues in Genetics and Genomics. My teaching experience includes courses in bioethics, general anthropology, and cultural anthropology.

I have mentored bioethics students, genetic counseling students, cultural anthropology students, ELSI trainees, and also students and researchers from other fields who were learning to incorporate qualitative research and analysis into their bioethics and ELSI-related projects. Those mentoring relationships have resulted in several peer-reviewed publications.
