Hi there. Thanks for stopping by.
My name is Travis Rieder, and I’m an associate research professor at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, where I direct the Master of Bioethics degree program. I hold secondary appointments in the Departments of Philosophy and Health Policy & Management, as well as the Center for Public Health Advocacy.
I’m also an author and public speaker. Scroll down for more information on my recent books, or poke around this site to take a look at both my popular and scholarly writing.
