 Title:  “Tools to Help Resolve Racial Health Disparities”

Talk Description:  The dominant views in bioethics today understand race to be a sociopolitical construct in all healthcare contexts and racism to be fundamentally structural and consequence-based.  Contrary to these views, I will argue that a pluralist race theory and a virtue-based account of racism best enable us to resolve racial (and ethnic) health disparities.  The upshot of these alternative frameworks is a more comprehensive, practical, and relevantly accurate approach to detecting some of the relevant mechanisms implicated in racial health disparities.
