Exactly. There's a framework to critique in the first place in bioethics, where the normative ethics for "academic" historians leaves ... something to be desired - at least for me.

Oh amazing! Thanks, Christine. I'll read these and follow up!

You too! It's actually from teaching / working with bioethics (which I know has it's own host of issues) in our health humanities classes that started me looking for more of this.

Could you add me?

That whole issue is fantastic for this! Fuentes' piece works with the ethics of care. It's surprising to me how rarely historians work explicitly with the language and tools of ethics - that's what I'm particularly interested in.

Thanks! That makes so much sense that historians who deal with actual living people have a better handle on this. I continue to be surprised by how little historians of earlier periods have written about research ethics besides something like "be objective"
