The James F. Drane Bioethics Institute at PennWest University, in collaboration with Duquesne University’s Center for Global Health Ethics, will host the Second Duquesne–PennWest Conference on Global Bioethics from November 12–14, 2026, in Edinboro, Pennsylvania.
In today’s deeply interconnected world, many of the most pressing challenges—ranging from global pandemics and climate change to health inequities and misinformation—transcend disciplinary, national, and cultural boundaries. Addressing these complex issues requires ethical frameworks and global collaboration. As an interdisciplinary field rooted in medicine, philosophy, public health, law, and the social sciences, bioethics is uniquely positioned to help clarify these challenges and guide just, evidence-based, and humane responses.
The Duquesne–PennWest Conference on Global Bioethics provides an international forum for scholars, clinicians, policymakers, activists, institutional leaders, and students to exchange ideas, present research, build networks, and engage in meaningful dialogue on the ethical dimensions of global health and medicine.
Event start time: 01:00 pm
Event end time: 11:30 am
