Elizabeth Foster,

BA, MPhil

Welcome! I'm a graduate student specializing in the History and Philosophy of Medicine, exploring the intricate relationships between medical practices, ethical considerations, and technological advancements. My work spans from 19th-century French medicine to contemporary issues in bioethics, including informed consent and the emergence of AI in healthcare.

This site provides an overview of my research interests and publications, as well as my full academic CV. Beyond academia, you'll also find a page dedicated to my passion for music, featuring recordings of my singing performances. I invite you to explore and discover both my scholarly work and artistic pursuits.
