Bioethics’ Eileen Anderson gives opening plenary at Ohio Courts Child Conference

Eileen Anderson, EdD, the Anne Templeton Zimmerman MD Professor in Bioethics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, recently gave the opening plenary presentation at Ohio Courts Child Conference in Columbus. 

In her address, Anderson discussed how to examine and work with culture in practices. Her audience included court-appointed special advocates, guardians ad litem, magistrates and judges. 

She also gave a standing-room-only presentation earlier this month titled "Listening to and ‘Vibing’ with Adolescents: Perspectives from Psychology, Anthropology and Neuroscience." 

This is Anderson's fourth year of being a featured speaker at Ohio's largest gathering for those working with vulnerable court-involved children.
