Methodological Tools

Apply Urban Bioethics

You will have the skills to apply the urban bioethics toolbox (critical thinking, reflexivity, ethical analysis, ability to effectively communicate, foregrounding social and structural determinants of health) to your respective disciplines (for example, research, administration, clinical care and academics) as an aid in crafting more equitable care, research, or administration plans; lowering moral distress; contributing to the literature; or in another way based on the students’ particular career.

Engaging with Community

You will have gained the skills to approach a community site with humility, identify and engage with community members using qualitative methods, and be an advocate for the inclusion of community organizations and voices in the planning, implementation and evaluation of health programs. Additionally, you will demonstrate awareness of how researchers’ positionality may lead to potential power imbalances between researchers and participants and will be knowledgeable about strategies for mitigating such imbalances or other conflicts.
