As one of our new series in 2012-13, “Bioethics Dissertation Reviews” is set to go live in a few weeks. In the tradition of the Dissertation Reviews project, the new series will feature friendly, non-critical overviews of recently defended, unpublished dissertations in Bioethics. Approximately 15 dissertations are currently under review, with more to come. If you are interested in reviewing for the new site, or having your dissertation reviewed, please contact bioethics@dissertationreviews.org.
