DR. KANEKAR PUBLISHES TWO NEW BOOK CHAPTERS ON THE APPLICATION OF ETHICS IN HEALTH EDUCATION AND PROMOTION

Dr. Amar Kanekar, professor and graduate coordinator of the Health Education/Health Promotion program at UA Little Rock, has published two new book chapters aimed at helping faculty, students and public health professionals across the nation.

The book chapters, “Ethical approaches to service, research, publication, and presentation,” and “Daily challenges in ethical decision-making,” were published in September in the book “Ethics for Health Promotion and Health Education” edited by Jody Vogelzang.

“The first chapter, titled ‘Ethical Approaches to Service, Research, Publication, and Presentation,’ focuses on ethics, research, presentations, and service,” Kanekar said. “I have co-authored it with Dr. Joseph Otundo.”

“The other chapter, ‘Daily Challenges in Ethical Decision-Making,’ is centered on daily challenges in ethical decision-making. It deals with the application of behavioral theories to encourage ethical behavior, management, and other related aspects,” Kanekar said. “It addresses the significance of inclusion and safe spaces in classrooms, emphasizing the importance of faculty training in this regard.”

According to Dr. Kanekar, both chapters could be helpful for everyone in health education, and academic research.
