Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics<\/a><\/em>\u00a0<\/em>will publish an issue devoted to personal stories from bioethicists about the experience of being ill or caring for a person who is ill.

In writing your story, you might want to think about:<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How did the experience of illness change your thinking on a moral<\/div>\n
problem in medicine?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Did seeing issues such as informed consent played out in your own<\/div>\n
life alter how you would now advise health care professionals about<\/div>\n
caring for patients?<\/div>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How did your experiences teach you about an element of medicine<\/div>\n
that as an outsider you never fully understood? Has it changed how<\/div>\n
you see patients?<\/div>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Did this experience challenge some essential philosophical positions?<\/div>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How would your views about and work in bioethics have been<\/div>\n
different if you had experienced this illness before entering the field?<\/div>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Did you form any new ideas about how you think medicine should be<\/div>\n
practice? Bioethics?<\/div>\n

You do not need to address these questions\u2014write on the issues that you think are most important to share with others. You do not need to be a writer, just tell your story in your own words. We plan to publish 10 to 12 brief stories (800 \u2013 2000 words) on this topic.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Additional stories may be published as online-only supplemental material. We also publish two commentary articles that discuss the stories in the journal. To see a finished symposium you may access\u00a0Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics<\/em>Vol. 1 issue 1 for free on\u00a0Project MUSE<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you are interested in submitting a story, we ask you first to submit a 300-word proposal\u2014a short description of the story you want to tell. Be sure to include a statement about how much time has passed since your illness experience.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Inquiries or proposals should be sent to the editorial office via email:<\/strong>narrativebioethics@gmail.com<\/a>.\u00a0We will give preference to story proposals received by August 27th.<\/div>\n
