Contributions to philosophy[edit]

Dr. Mongoven's work primarily focuses on how symbolic frameworks influence the field of bioethics and public health policy. She is also interested in "public health ethics, justice in health care, organ donation/transplantation, challenges of democratic deliberation on bioethical issues, and challenges of diversity in health care".[2] Her current work is centered on what virtues are necessary for democratic deliberation, biobanking, and how preparedness and response in public health is symbolically framed.

Mongoven has published several professional papers dealing with a broad range of topics in health care ethics in journals such as The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy,[3] The Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics,[4] Cambridge Quarterly of Health Care Ethics,[5] and Bioethics.
