Criteria for Contributors
I am assembling a theme issue of KT&P I call Personal Trials: A Casebook
of Professional and Technical Ethical
Dilemmas. I presented the concept at a recent conference and was
encouraged to pursue it. It started with some cases of my
own. A few examples, for length, complexity, and style, are posted here.
I invite contributions. The settings may be clinical, corporate,
non-profit or governmental (but not academic). It may as well be
factory-floor, e-biz/IT/web, entrepreneurial, sales or manufacturing.
The case must consist of your own "professional trial" in the
field (no fiction or third party reportage, please). There is no
substitute for actual war stories. However, names and places should,
of course, be changed to avoid liability and embarrassment. Please
provide rich, real detail, not "teaching notes". Authors will be
listed alphabetically, shorn of titles and honorifics, as contributors
to the book, not as authors of specific cases. Authors may use a
nom de plume/guerre if they prefer. If the issue eventually morphs into
a book, and it makes any money, the profits will be shared
pro rata per pages contributed.
Case objectives:
1) To enable professional/technical students to gird their loins for the
conflicts they will inevitably experience in the field and to
understand that moral dilemmas and crises reveal how much the
professions are alike rather than different; to give students the
cold comfort of realizing that they are not the first persons to be
forced into dreadful choices.
2) Cases should lead the reader to the point of decision but not beyond.
Cases should not steer, lecture, or lead readers but rather
invite them to participate at the critical moment.
Thank you,
David Clarke
