Other Experts from Bioethics Centre and Other Departments of Otago University

Dr. Lynley Anderson is the Head of Department and Associate Professor with the Bioethics Centre of the University of Otago. One of Lynley's main areas of research interest is in sports medicine ethics: in particular exploring the structure of medicine in sport and the ways in which the contemporary cultural and economic context of elite sport can encourage a deviation from obligations traditionally associated with medicine. In 2007 she was invited to write a new code of ethics for the Australasian College of Sports Physicians which was adopted in 2008. Reproductive ethics is another area of research interest, particularly the development of policy surrounding reproductive procedures and getting the balance right between protection and freedom. Lynley previously served for six years on the Ethics

Committee for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ECART). Professional issues for health professionals are a further area of interest. This includes ways of assisting health professionals to maintain professional boundaries, and professional development. Lynley recently rewrote the new code of ethics for New Zealand physiotherapists.

Dr. Joanne Baxter (Ngai Tahu, Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō) is the Associate Dean Māori for the Division of Health Sciences and the Dunedin School of Medicine. Joanne is a Public Health Medicine Physician and has been working at Otago University for a number of years, in roles including supporting the development and delivery of the Māori Health curriculum to undergraduate medical students. Joanne also has a role in strategic Māori development within the Health Sciences Division including supporting the recruitment, retention and achievement of Māori students in health professional programmes. Joanne’s research interests include Māori mental health, ethnic inequalities in health, medical education and

indigenous health and Māori Health Workforce Development. Alongside the Associate Dean Māori roles, Joanne is also the Director of the University of Otago’s Māori Health Workforce Development Unit, and the Dunedin School of Medicine’s Kōhatu Centre for Hauora Māori.

Mrs Sandy Elkin is a Professional Practice Fellow at the University of Otago’s Bioethics Centre, focusing on bioethics in clinical teaching, with particular interest in ethics in clinical practice for non-medical health professionals; the interface between law and ethics and the relevance of medical law to clinicians; ethics in pharmacy practice; and the ethics of elder care.

Dr. Ruth Fitzgerald is Associate Professor with the Department of Anthropology and Archeology at University of Otago, with primary research interests in the disciplinary subfield of medical anthropology, in which she takes a sociocultural approach. Her work draws inspiration from a deep commitment to the study of health and illness in its social and political context. The range of her research projects and outputs is quite wide as they reflect her central interests of ideologies in health, care, inequalities in health care provision and moral reasoning - topics which are in themselves quite open ended and multifaceted concepts. Therefore, her work has been both diverse in topic (exploring health policy, health practitioners, problematizing disability, pioneering the social study of the impact of new

technologies in New Zealand medicine, media analysis of health debates, lay meanings of oral health etc) as well as methodologically flexible (frequently working in interdisciplinary collaborations and publishing in 'hard' as well as social science journals).

Dr. Neil Pickering is an Associate Professor with the Bioethics Centre of the University of Otago, specializing in the philosophy and ethics of mental health, medical humanities (particularly the use of literature in ethics teaching), alternative medicine, cultural issues in bioethics, environmental ethics. The philosophy of mental health considers fundamental questions about some of our most profound concerns and ideas. When the human being suffers either in the body or in the mind, how are we to understand what is going on? What are the limits of the scientific biologically based understanding offered by medicine? How are do the foundational concepts of professional health carers—disease, illness, health—to

be understood? Are they truly scientific concepts? Do they have essences, or can they be described in terms of neat definitive criteria? There are lively and divisive debates about all these issues. To these debates Dr. Neil Pickering brings a focus on the extension of concepts of disease from the physical to the mental; and on the ideas about concepts which those engaged in such debates presume.

Dr. Michelle Schaaf is a Lecturer at Te Tumu School of Māori, Pacific & Indigenous Studies of the University of Otago, where she teaches in the area of Pacific diaspora; sport, race and gender; and the politics of representation and the Pacific body. She currently holds the positions in the University of Otago as Programme Coordinator Pacific Islands Studies and acting Associate Dean Pacific – Humanities. She is currently researching Pacific migration experiences to Dunedin from the 1950s to the 1990s. Dr. Simon Walker is a Lecturer at Bioethics Center of the University of Otago, with a particular interest in the works of Kant, Wittgenstein, and Spinoza. While working as a palliative care researcher he became interested in the links between moral philosophy and our understanding of health, and began reading healthcare literature exploring this connection. He discovered a broad acceptance of the idea that a person's values will shape her experience of and response to suffering, and yet that this relationship is scarcely mentioned in contemporary ethical discourse. He is currently developing a conception of ethics that shows the fundamental link between values and suffering, and which indicates how and to what

extent life may retain value in the midst of suffering. This research draws on many different sources, including clinical experience, ancient and modern philosophy, and literature.
