IHEM External Speaker Dr. Laura Hartman: Navigating Clinical and Embedded Ethics Through a Pragmatist Lens

23 Okt 2024 - 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

What can pragmatist ethics mean for clinical and embedded ethics? The connection between moral theory and its practical applications in embedded and clinical ethics is often underexplored. Yet, underlying meta-ethical assumptions about moral judgments, concepts, and principles significantly influence evaluations of ethical research, the scope of applied ethics projects, and their objectives. In this presentation, Dr. Laura Hartman will outline key elements of pragmatist ethics and their implications for applied ethics, particularly in embedded and clinical contexts. She will provide detailed examples from several research projects she has been involved in, such as delivering clinical ethics support for the “gender team” providing gender-affirmative care in the Netherlands. Additionally, Hartman will discuss her current involvement in the 4D PICTURE project, which aims to redesign oncology care pathways using methodologies like metromapping, data mining of patient experiences, and risk prediction models.

As Dewey famously stated: “Philosophy recovers itself when it ceases to be a device for dealing with the problems of philosophers and becomes a method, cultivated by philosophers, for dealing with the problems of men” (1917: 65).

 

Speaker

Dr Laura Hartman conducts embedded ethics research on artificial intelligence in healthcare, and is vice-chair of the ethics expertise team of Erasmus MC. Previously, she worked in the Dutch House of Representatives and at the Council for Public Health & Society and its Center for Ethics and Health.
