ANTITHESES: Wellcome Discovery Research Platform for Transformative Inclusivity in Ethics and Humanities Research.
Antitheses addresses an urgent need for research that can engage meaningfully with the radical value disagreements, polarisation, and informational uncertainty characteristic of contemporary medical science, practice, and policy.
Available approaches to ethics and humanities research lack the concepts, methods, and tools to do this work. They have insufficient diversity of voices, are overly safe and conservative, and overwhelmingly Western. We need new approaches.
To address these challenges, Antitheses brings together expertise, from the UK and internationally, across the fields of history, philosophy, the fine arts, design bioethics, sociology, and global bioethics.
