Inaugural Professorial Lecture: Making things right
What does it mean to make things right? Medicine and science often turn to bioethics for concrete solutions to ethical challenges. But in reality, there is rarely a single, obvious ‘right’ answer.
Hear Professor Angela Ballantyne from University of Otago talk about how human systems are inherently messy, and challenged by a legacy of injustice, unequal distributions of power, and declining social trust. However there is the potential for bioethics to help clarify and navigate ethics dilemmas; pragmatically inching us closer to making things – if not right, then at least – better.
Date: Tuesday 26th August 2025.
Time: 5.30 to 7pm.
Location: Online.
