Ann Mongoven, Ph.D., M.P.H. |
Ann Mongoven joined the CEHLS faculty in August 2006, with an affiliation in the MSU Philosophy Department. Her background is in religious studies, bioethics, and public health. Before coming to MSU, she taught for many years in the department of religious studies at Indiana University/Bloomington, where she had an adjunct appointment in the Center for Bioethics at Indiana University-Purdue University/Indianapolis. She did a fellowship in comparative bioethics at the University of Tokyo (2004-05) and in gender, religion, and ethics at Harvard Divinity School (1999-2000). She has served as an ethics consultant in policy venues related to organ donation/transplantation and public health preparedness. She received her M.P.H. from Johns Hopkins University (2006); her Ph.D. in religious studies from University of Virginia (1996); and her B.A. in science and technology policy from Princeton University (1984).
Current Research Interests:
Dr. Mongoven excavates how symbolic frameworks influence, often without recognition, the parameters of bioethics and public health policy. She has topical interests in public health ethics, justice in health care, organ donation/transplantation, challenges of democratic deliberation on bioethical issues, and challenges of diversity in health care. Her current work considers virtues necessary for democratic deliberation, cross-cultural understandings of organ donation, and symbolic framings of public health preparedness and response.
