Black Health Matters: Racism and Protest in the Midst of a Global Pandemic

Elena Comay del Junco and I met again (virtually) for a talk at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Ethics to discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during global protests against racism.

Race, COVID-19, and the Public “We”

I was initially scheduled to give a race and bioethics talk at the University of Toronto Centre for Ethics in March 2020. The night before my talk, as I was sitting in my hotel in Toronto, I received a call that the University of Toronto had cancelled all nonessential public gatherings due to the pandemic. Elena and Korey were the last people I shared a meal with in a restaurant. Seems like so long ago. We were able to regroup and deliver a modified version of our discussion. This is my first Zoom talk.

“Conceptualizing Insurrectionist Ethics”

Talk delivered at University of Alabama, Huntsville in which I offer a black feminist perspective in order to more precisely assess acts as insurrectionist.

 
 

“Race, Pain Management, and Epistemic Credibility”

Talk delivered at the CUNY Black Women Philosophers Conference (March 2019) from my in-progress book Black Death: Racial Justice, Priority-Setting, and Care at the End of Life. This chapter is on the disparate treatment that black people experience with pain management.

“Second-Order Discrimination and Implicit Bias”

Talk delivered at The Applied Ethics Institute at Utica College based on the comparison and contrast of John Locke's and Thomas Hobbes's understandings of political authority and citizens' obligations to the state in order to explain disparate responses to police violence.
