Discipline:Social and Political Sciences
In an era marked by profound challenges to the bioethical consensus and human rights frameworks, the Biopolitics, Law and Ethics series addresses the pressing need for interdisciplinary dialogue in understanding how scientific and technological advancement intersects with ethical, legal, and social imperatives.
The humanities and the social sciences face unprecedented threats in our contemporary world, while history demonstrates the dangerous consequences of scientific and technological advances conducted in isolation from ethics, law, and social norms. From eugenic practices to pandemic public health governance, from pronatalist policies to emerging biotechnologies, biopolitical phenomena demand rigorous examination that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. This groundbreaking series moves beyond the limitations of conventional bioethics. Instead, these volumes plan to forge essential connections between natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, placing focus on the interplay between scientific and technological possibilities and human values.
Featuring both research monographs and cutting-edge edited collections, the series applies multidisciplinary methodologies to examine biopolitical episodes across historical and contemporary contexts. Each volume contributes to a deeper understanding of how power, knowledge, and life intersect in ways that shape our collective future.
Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in bioethics, law, political science, science and technology studies, medical humanities, and public policy, this series illuminates the critical conversations that should define the ethical landscape of the twenty-first century.
