Eric Racine, PhD, FCAHS is a French Canadian bioethicist and university professor. He is the Director of the Pragmatic Health Ethics Research Unit based at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute as well as a research professor at the Université de Montréal and the Montreal Clinical Research Institute. Likewise, he is an adjunct professor at the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University.

Education

edit

Racine pursued undergraduate training in philosophy and political science at the University of Ottawa (1995-1999, summa cum laude) with the highest standings of the honors program. He then moved to Montreal to pursue a master’s in philosophy under the supervision of Professor Daniel Laurier (1999-2001) at the Université de Montréal. He proposed an advanced integrative framework to reconcile insights from AI and cognitive science into a pragmatic multi-level emergentist framework. This work was published much later as chapter 9 in Pragmatic Neuroethics [1].

Eager to develop interdisciplinary research, Racine pursued a PhD in Applied Human Sciences at the Université de Montréal where he was exposed to qualitative research methodologies. He undertook a multi-site field interview-based study of clinical ethics committees[2] under the supervision of Dr. Hubert Doucet, a pioneer of bioethics in Canada[3]. He also published some of his first academic papers on discourse ethics and neuroethics [4]. Intrigued by the ethical and philosophical implications of neuroscience, Racine joined the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics (2004-2006) to work under the supervision of neuroethics pioneered by Dr. Judy Illes now based as a Distinguished University Scholar [5] at the University of British Columbia[6] and Emeritus Director of the Program in Neuroethics at Stanford[7]. Racine and Illes have published a series of landmark papers in the field of neuroethics[8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] exploring topics related to the public understandings of neuroscience and the ethics of neurotechnology [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36].

During his training, and throughout his career, Racine has received numerous scholarships from private foundations, universities and funding agencies.

Research

edit

Racine’s research program furthers pragmatic theory, as developed by renown American philosopher John Dewey (1859-1952). His program relies on agent-based epistemologies alongside participatory and qualitative research methodologies to explore topics related to human flourishing, the latter based on Carol Ryff’s multi-dimensional model. His work touches upon a wide range of topics such as transition care [41] [42] [43] [44], addiction [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57], health-related stigma[58] [59] [60] [61] [62] [63] and is carried with different health organizations, patient groups and research networks. His work is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), and the Fonds de recheche du Québec – Santé. He developed the first center dedicated to neuroethics in Canada which since 2016 has evolved to become the world’s first interdisciplinary center dedicated entirely to pragmatic ethics. [64]

Racine has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers and has lectured in academic institutions and political circles across the globe in over 20 countries (Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, Israel, Japan, Latvia, Netherlands, Scotland, Portugal, Qatar, Sweden, South Korea, Taiwan, United States).
