The Science, Politics, and Ethics of Male Circumcision: An Interdisciplinary Take on an Emerging Global Controversy
Brian D. Earp is a Research Associate at the University of Oxford, based in the Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, as well as a Resident Visiting Scholar at The Hastings Center Bioethics Institute in Garrison, New York. He holds degrees from Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge Universities in cognitive science, experimental psychology, and history and philosophy of science, respectively, and conducts research at the interface of these disciplines with an additional focus on bioethics. His work centers around three main issues (1) research integrity, focusing on the "replication crisis" in psychology and medicine; (2) ethics of neuroenhancement (focusing on the neuroenhancement of romantic relationships, a.k.a. "love drugs"); and (3) the science and ethics of non-therapeutic childhood genital surgeries (male, female, and intersex). Brian is the Ethics Advisory Editor for the Journal of Clinical and Translational Research, as well as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Medical Ethics. He has published widely in the leading journals in his fields.
