Ethical Imperialism by Zachary M. Schrag
Institutional Review Boards and the Social Sciences, 1965-2009
This insightful work delves into the intricate dynamics of research ethics, exploring how the Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) in the United States have evolved into powerful entities that often impose stringent regulations on academic research. The book critically examines the historical development of these boards, highlighting their impact on the freedom and scope of scholarly inquiry. It argues that while intended to protect human subjects, the bureaucratic nature of IRBs can sometimes stifle innovation and academic freedom, raising questions about the balance between ethical oversight and intellectual exploration.
