Jessica Masri Eberhard
I am currently an ABD doctoral student in Rhetoric and Composition at the University of South Florida in Tampa. My focus is in the Rhetoric of Science, specifically the Rhetoric of Medicine, Ethics, and Professional Communication. My current research involves qualitative study of hospital ward teams and the question of how medical ethics are taught. The project attempts to formulate a theory for "Material, Networked Ethics," specifically as it applies to geographically situated work-place locations and professionalization.
My secondary interests include the Rhetoric of Technology (especially game discourse and theory), the Rhetoric of Science and Religion, and Gender Studies.
Supervisors: Carl Herndl, Meredith Zoetewey, Blake Scott, and Scott Graham

This paper presents findings of an ethnographic study conducted at a large South-Eastern teaching hospital, where the researcher observed how Ethics were invoked and enacted by various groups in various settings. The study focuses on how ethics are decreasingly centered on one-on-one interactions between doctors and patients, and increasingly born out of the collaborative work of teams within larger complexes of hospital technology, space, and economics. Attendees will walk away with a better understanding of how various institutions of power, discourse communities, and legal policies “sponsor” healthcare ethics and, more importantly, how these interwoven relationships impact the practice of medicine in the material (Mol).
