Deliberative Public Engagement: From biobanks to personalized medicine
Michael M. Burgess is Professor and Chair in Biomedical Ethics at the W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics and the Department of Medical Genetics at the University of British Columbia. Burgess combines ethical and social theory with social science methods related to policy in health care, health research and biotechnology. Most recently his research has focused on science and technology policy and public engagement based on theories of deliberative democracy. Burgess worked with K. O’Doherty to implement deliberative engagements on biobanks in BC, the Mayo Clinic (PI: B. Koenig) and in Western Australia.
The Social Dynamics of Public Engagement
Sarah Cunningham-Burley is Professor of Medical and Family Sociology in the Division of Community Health Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. She is Co-Director, Centre for Research on Families and Relationships. Cunningham-Burley focuses on lay perspectives, understanding and experience, as well as on lay/professional relationships particularly in relation to public involvement and engagement in science and medicine. Much of her work has used and developed qualitative methods and is directly relevant to and disseminated amongst a range of practitioners and policy makers.
Lunch is provided. If you would like to attend, please RSVP by 5 December to helex@dph.ox.ac.uk .
