Global Health Research in an Unequal World: Ethics Case Studies From Africa
2016
This book-length collection of 42 fictionalized cases, published by Wellcome Trust and CAB International, offers a wide range of narratives on everyday ethical dilemmas and challenges that may accompany global health research in places with substantial global, political, and economic inequality. Each story-based case includes discussion questions, suggested group activities, an invitation to reflect on personal experience, further readings, and facilitator notes with learning objectives. Facilitator guidance, templates, and additional resources on using the case studies are also included. The ethical themes addressed in the cases are organized by relational issues—researcher/participant, community and family, institutional, and staff relationships—and a concluding index lists topical themes by alphabetical keyword. The second part of the book explores key perspectives informing the research approach, offers an analysis of the medical research context in Africa, and outlines what anthropology and the social sciences can offer.
This case collection is structured to be a user-friendly illustrated resource, suitable for high school or college student classes as well as training opportunities within medical research organizations, universities, collaborative sites, and non-governmental organizations.
