Medical History and Bioethics
This fall MHB welcomes the arrival of two new junior faculty, J. Paul Kelleher, Ph.D. and Dayle B. DeLancey, Ph.D. Professor Kelleher joins us following a post-doc in the Program in Ethics and Health at Harvard University. He received his Ph.D. in philosophy in 2008 from Cornell University; his research interests are mainly in biomedical ethics and social and political philosophy. Professor DeLancey comes to Madison from the Institute for the Medical Humanities at the University of Texas Medical Branch. In 2007 she received her Ph.D. in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine from the University of Manchester (UK). Her core research interests include the history and ethics of African-American health experiences and American public health.
