Personal profile

An early career academic with strong foundations in ethical theory, applied ethics and interdisciplinary empirical research in computer and medical ethics, as shown through a variety of research dissemination activities and publications, as well as university teaching on social and ethical aspects of information and communication technologies.  Brent’s immediate research interests lie in the social and ethical implications of emerging forms of medical ICT and data mining, including governance and social discourses concerning their development, deployment and regulation.  Secondary interests include theoretical development of the virtue ethics of Alisdair MacIntyre and Jürgen Habermas’ discourse ethics, and epistemological challenges of anticipatory ethical analysis of emerging technological applications and methods.
