As we transition into a new year around the globe, a few things on our agenda for the new year, and a question to feminist approaches to bioethics readers, thinkers, students, activists, and scholars: what is on yours?
IJFAB Blog in 2024
This past year we built a team of four to edit the blog and will keep that going for 2025. We’ve been posting about the International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics content (which you can go back and check out at our various blog posts on journal articles), new leadership of the FAB gab Podcast, reflections on global health and crises including the genocide in Gaza and restrictions on access to trans health care, and the tough conversations and decisions around the World Congress of Bioethics/FAB Congress in Qatar, among other things.
Feminist Bioethics & The Blog in 2025
The blog will keep going with a new feature started in 2024: our Scholar Spotlight Series. We’d love to feature you or your favorite feminist bioethicists in the new year! We’re interested in scholars from all over the world, doing work that is feminist and bioethics broadly construed from the wide range of disciplines and methods that are feminist and bioethics approaches. Check out the link for more information on how to nominate yourself or anyone else (and please do – we really want to hear from you).
Are you reading recent books related to feminist approaches to bioethics? Do you have *thoughts* about them that you want to write up in a book review? Keep an eye on the blog for posts about new works in feminist approaches to bioethics for which the IJFAB Book Review Editor is seeking reviewers or, if you don’t see the title you want to review listed, reach out to pitch it.
Want to talk about your own feminist approaches to bioethics scholarship, how it relates to a topic or event in the news, or have a more public-facing conversation about feminist bioethics? Write for the blog! We’ll happily work with you on guest posts for the blog to get your content out there, so get in touch. This is an opportunity for students and emerging scholars up through established academics and we can work with you to provide the level of editorial support that feels right for you. The year ahead is bound to provide plenty of topics related to feminism and bioethics (to say the least…) and we’ll keep this space going to foster hard, important, and timely conversations.
Finally, the blog will get a bit of a new look this year. We are in the progress of migrating it to a new platform – but don’t worry, we’ll make sure we’re still here and you can find us! We’ll keep you posted as we’re ready to go live with our revamped site.
In solidarity for 2025, the IJFAB Blog Editors
