Biological Futures in a Globalized World (BFGW) is a cluster of projects hosted by the Simpson Center for the Humanities in partnership with the Center for Biological Futures (CBF) at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the Program on Values in Society (POV) at UW. Our goal is to develop an interdisciplinary network of scholars and scientists in order to foster better thinking about the dramatic growth in biological knowledge, its increasing use to manipulate living systems, and its consequent impact on human affairs.
In the first year of the project, 2011-2012, we developed an inventory of research ethics courses and resources already in place at the University of Washington, and sponsored a colloquium series and an ethics teaching workshop designed to bring together faculty and students who share an interest in research ethics. Our goal is to develop a coordinated curriculum that reaches across the social and natural sciences. To this end, BFGW is sponsoring a series of pilot courses on research ethics in 2012-2013.
