Ian Lague is a journalist and editor based in Portland, Oregon. He received his M.A. from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, with a special focus on health reporting, and holds a philosophy degree from Swarthmore College. A former Managing Editor of BOSTON REVIEW, he has edited and written articles on such topics as the prescription drug wholesale industry, distributive justice in caregiving, and the role of public funding in private healthcare enterprises. He is a co-editor, with Joshua Cohen, of THE PLACE OF TOLERANCE IN ISLAM (Beacon Press, 2002), and has served as a developmental editor for college textbooks in Applied Ethics, Bioethics, and Critical Thinking.
"The Briefing Sessions offer the instructor an opportunity to move from abstract applied ethics to the concrete circumstances lived by others. For some students, this brings ethics down from the lofty heights of academic exercise and into the reality of daily life."
"The format used to introduce the topics and issues are engaging. The case studies bring the issues into focus as they are real life cases. The readings are excellent as they give the reader good arguments as to the pros and cons of each issue. The discussions are easy for the student to comprehend as they are not mired in technical terms or words that students are not familiar with."
