Respect and Shame in Healthcare and Bioethics Workshop Series Recordings
The “Respect and Shame in Healthcare and Bioethics” Workshop Series ran in late 2021 and aimed to address the following questions through interdisciplinary dialogue and discussion:
> How are the concepts of respect, disrespect, shame and humiliation relevant to healthcare and bioethics debates?
> Could deeper conceptual, philosophical and phenomenological understandings of (dis)respect, shame and humiliation help improve the practice of medicine?
