 Barbara Koenig, Ph.D.
Professor of Medicine, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester,
MN; Faculty Associate at the Center for Bioethics, University of
Minnesota
Dr Koenig is an anthropologist who studies contemporary
biomedicine. In addition to the positions above, she
has also served as Executive
Director of Stanford University’s Center for Biomedical
Ethics, West Coast Research Coordinator for The Hastings Center,
and was
a member of the faculty at the University of California, San
Francisco.
Dr. Koenig’s empirical bioethics research focuses on two areas:
end-of-life care and the ethical, social, and political implications
of new biomedical technologies, particularly those within the genomic
sciences. Her past projects in end-of-life care have investigated
topics such as how medical residents construct seriously ill patients
as “dying,” and the social negotiation of “routine” biomedical
therapies. Later research explored issues of multi-culturalism
in healthcare through the lens of end-of-life decision
making, examining
how the dilemmas of western bioethics are experienced
in urban, inner-city American clinics and hospitals.

Jan Storch, RN, PhD
Professor Emeritus in Nursing
University of Victoria
I am a nurse who has been involved in the field of
bioethics since the
mid-1970s. Initially my interest was focused in clinical ethics,
but that
focus gradually moved to include research ethics, organizational
ethics, and
more recently a strong research focus in nursing ethics. I
have served as
President of the Canadian Bioethics Society, Chair of the Canadian
Nurses
Association Ethics Committee, President of the National Council
on Ethics in
Human Research, and currently serve on Health Canada's REB,
and several
other national and provincial research and research ethics
related
committees. My teaching up until July 1st 2006 has centered
on nursing
administration/management, health ethics, and nursing ethics.
I am involved
in a program of research with three other nursing colleagues
at UVIC and UBC
focusing on nursing ethics; and currently I serve as a Co-PI
on a CHSRF
Grant aimed at examining improving the quality of nursing work
environments
to enable safe, competent and ethical practice. In a recent
SSHRC grant our
research team was able to demonstrate how ethics in practice
can help create
positive change for nurses and the persons in their care: our
current
project builds upon that work to take it to provincial and
national policy
levels.
