I’ll start by giving some background on the topic more generally and presenting some problems that have been raised for it in the literature\, and then spend most of the time on Andersen and Kappel’s article “Epistemic consequentialism as a metatheory of inquiryâ€. Here is the abstract for their article: \nThe overall aim of this article is to reorient the contemporary debate about epistemic consequentialism. Thus far the debate has to a large extent focused on whether standard theories of epistemic justification are consequentialist in nature and therefore vulnerable to certain trade-off cases where accepting a false or unjustified belief leads to good epistemic outcomes. We claim that these trade-offs raise an important—yet somewhat neglected—issue about the epistemic demands on inquiry. We first distinguish between two different kinds of epistemic evaluation\, viz.\, backing evaluation and outcome evaluation\, and then go on to outline and discuss a consequentialist metatheory about the right combinations of decision procedures to adopt in inquiry. Note that the piece is exploratory in the following sense: we try to explore epistemic evaluation in consequentialist terms\, which involves stating a form of epistemic consequentialism\, but also pointing to what non-consequentialist alternatives might be. Rather than trying to argue decisively for a particular conclusion\, we aim to outline various intricate issues in an underexplored area of theorizing. In the course of doing this\, we’ll transpose some well-known themes from discussions of consequentialism in ethics to the current debate about consequentialism in epistemology\, e.g.\, agent-neutrality\, options\, and side-constraints.

Because of growing perceptions that ongoing international collaborative health research between the Global North and Africa is colonial in nature\, there is worry that this goal will not be easily met. Hence\, there is an urgent need to decolonize international collaborative health research in Africa. Using Kwame Nkrumah’s analysis of his seminal work on ‘Neocolonialism: the last stage of imperialism’\, the aim of this paper is to reflect on the potential of the current dominant trend in decolonizing health research ethics in Africa to meet the ultimate goal of decolonization. Methods: This is a purely argumentative paper based on Kwame Nkrumah’s views on neocolonialism and decolonization. The paper also uses other secondary sources to corroborate and demonstrate its argument. Results: There is a growing consensus that international collaborative health research is colonial in nature and hence a need to decolonise it. The paper argues that Nkrumah’s analysis of neocolonialism implies that the ultimate goal of decolonizing health research in Africa should be to mitigate and ultimately stop the exploitation of African people in international collaborative health research. Discussion: The paper shows that the outcomes of most decolonizing efforts\, though necessary\, are not enough. Unless conscientiously pursued\, these efforts risk failure at meeting Nkrumah’s ultimate goal of decolonization and arguably are becoming a subtle method for facilitating\, sustaining and entrenching the ultimate goal of neocolonialism—the exploitation of African peoples. Conclusion: The mission of decolonizing health research ethics in Africa needs to clearly demonstrate the potential to mitigate and ultimately end maximin exploitation in health research and be critical enough to avoid the risk of instead facilitating neocolonialism unconsciously. \nJohn Barugahare\, Ph.D.\, is a senior lecturer and Head\, Department of Philosophy at Makerere University\, Kampala – Uganda. He teaches moral philosophy\, human rights and applies these in health care and health-related research. His major interest is in ethics international collaborative research. He is also interest in guiding the development of bioethics in Africa. Lately\, he is exploring concepts and perspectives in the decolonization discussion\, and how these can help shape our understanding of the major ethical issues in international collaborative health research\, hoping to suggest ways these can be eased. \nLocation: online & livestreamed from Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-online-john-barugahare-makerere-university/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
