I don;t think it is necessary to think of social science, sociology or, even, history as a profession, in the sense that medicine, law or the clergy is, even if we think that these activities can be done professionally. Thus, that problem can be made to disappear. <br /><br />Alternatively we might also draw the boundaries around academia per se rather than focus on particular disciplines. As a result the problem would then be largely insurmountable and therefore the required should be subject to greater scrutiny. <br /><br />We might consider what the spirit of the requirement is, presumably the independence of ethical review through ensuring a diversity of reviewers, more explicitly link it to the lay membership, and rethink formal constitutional requirements from there.nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09766849730535304890noreply@blogger.com
