KIE/BRL Staff Reach Out to India

October 21, 2011

Chennai, India Laura Bishop, Ph.D., and Doris Goldstein, M.L.S., will travel to India on November 2nd as part of "Bioethics as a Means of Engagement: Focus on India," a University-funded initiative that supports a multi-site visit. Their task is to identify and explore potential partnerships on three separate domains related to learning and scholarship within bioethics: 1) library and research infrastructure; 2) study abroad possibilities for Georgetown University undergraduates; and 3) continuing professional education for individuals in a range of fields related to bioethics. The broad goal is to build relationships and explore possible joint ventures that would advance emerging priorities of the KIE/BRL. As an initial way to explore professional education possibilities, the KIE will offer two scholarships to attend the KIE's summer Intensive Bioethics Course.
