Oral History Interview with Jonathan Moreno
No full textThis interview was conducted in person with Jonathan Moreno, PhD, as part of “Moral Histories: Voices and Stories from the Founding Figures of Bioethics,” an oral history project of the Johns Hopkins University Berman Institute of Bioethics. Professor Moreno is the David and Lyn Silfen University Professor Emeritus of Medical Ethics and Health Policy, Philosophy, and History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of over twenty-four books and hundreds of articles. His areas of expertise include neuroethics, biotechnology, and national security, with a particular interest in the history and sociology of bioethics.
In this interview Moreno discusses his childhood and the intellectual influence of his parents, particularly his father J.L. Moreno, who was renowned for developing the therapeutic model of psychodrama and the idea of social networks. He discusses his philosophy graduate studies and shares how he became involved in bioethics as one of the first “staff philosophers” in hospitals early in his career. He discusses his gradual move towards government and policy ethics, including being on the staff of Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments (ACHRE) during the Clinton Administration; the Advisory Committee on Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research for the National Academy of Sciences; Department of Defense consulting; creating “Science Progress” content as a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress; and being on the Obama presidency transition team. Post-9/11 issues of biosafety and bioterrorism are discussed, as well as his experience consulting on the ethics related to force-feeding, interrogation, and the different approaches of the CIA and Army regarding Guantanamo prisoners post 9/11.
Moreno reflects on being a senior advisor for the Obama administration’s Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, particularly the historical importance of the Guatemala syphilis experiments that added a new chapter to the history of medicine and bioethics. He also touches on the ethical implications of neuroscience advancements, such as brain organoids and synthetic brains. Moreno concludes with reflections on the importance of bioethics in a rules-based international order and his contributions to the field through accessible writing and diverse kinds of academic work and public facing endeavors

Sparrows can't sing : East End kith and kinship in the 1960s
No full textSparrows Can’t Sing (1963) was the only feature film directed by
the late and much lamented Joan Littlewood. Set and filmed in
the East End, where she worked for many years, the film deserves
more attention than it has hitherto received. Littlewood’s career
spanned documentary (radio recordings made with Ewan MacColl
in the North of England in the 1930s) to directing for the stage
and the running of the Theatre Royal in London’s Stratford East,
often selecting material which aroused memories in local audiences
(Leach 2006: 142). Many of the actors trained in her Theatre
Workshop subsequently became better known for their appearances
on film and television. Littlewood herself directed hardly any material
for the screen: Sparrows Can’t Sing and a 1964 series of television
commercials for the British Egg Marketing Board, starring Theatre
Workshop’s Avis Bunnage, were rare excursions into an area of practice
which she found constraining and unamenable (Gable 1980: 32).
The hybridity and singularity of Littlewood’s feature may answer,
in some degree, for its subsequent neglect. However, Sparrows Can’t
Sing makes a significant contribution to a group of films made in
Britain in the 1960s which comment generally on changes in the
urban and social fabric. It is especially worthy of consideration,
I shall argue, for the use which Littlewood made of a particular
community’s attitudes – sentimental and critical – to such changes and
for its amalgamation of an attachment to documentary techniques
(recording an aural landscape on location) with a preference for nonnaturalistic
delivery in performance
