Register: https://upenn.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJApd-6orD0pHNMzsI5RRYTmmjnTjoZ2NW-f

This talk identifies some conceptual tools that can help frame analyses of medical racism in professional health care. It raises the idea of a racialized imagination and how this can be understood as a partial explanatory frame of reference accounting for some instances of medical racism. Moreover, there will be a brief discussion of the notion of epistemic injustice with respect to disparate treatment along racialized lines.

Smith, PhD is the Director of Bioethics for the Trent Center for Bioethics, Humanities, and History of Medicine, and an Associate Professor in Population Health Sciences, Duke University School of Medicine. He is an associate research professor of theological ethics and bioethics at Duke University Divinity School.
