Full Summary:
Aubrey Incorvaia, a Ph.D. student in public policy, published the piece in "The American Journal of Bioethics."
Aubrey IncorvaiaAubrey Incorvaia, a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Public Policy, published an open peer commentary in The American Journal of Bioethics (AJOB) titled “Addressing Whiteness in Bioethics Curricula as Praxis for Transformation.” The article, co-authored by Leslie E. Wolf of the Georgia State University College of Law, is in response to another AJOB piece, “Meeting the Moment: Bioethics in the Time of Black Lives Matter.”
In their peer commentary, Incorvaia and Wolf agree with the original article’s claims that increasing equity in the bioethics field requires work from “outsiders,” including community-based research and external sources of funding. They expand on this idea by calling for bioethicists — a group that the authors note is predominantly white — to “explicitly address whiteness, prejudice, and racism in their classes.” They then offer suggestions for how to do so, including linking to best practices for teaching about race and racism.
