Abstract
Recent calls to address racism in bioethics reflect a sense of urgency to mitigate the lethal effects of a lack of action. While the field was catalyzed largely in response to pivotal events deeply rooted in racism and other structures of oppression embedded in research and health care, it has failed to center racial justice in its scholarship, pedagogy, advocacy, and practice, and neglected to integrate anti-racism as a central consideration. Academic bioethics programs play a key role in determining the field's norms and practices, including methodologies, funding priorities, and professional networks that bear on equity, inclusion, and epistemic justice. This article describes recommendations from the Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (REDI) Task Force commissioned by the Association of Bioethics Program Directors to prioritize and strengthen anti-racist practices in bioethics programmatic endeavors and to evaluate and develop specific goals to advance REDI.
最近关于解决生命伦理学中的种族主义问题的呼声反映了一种紧迫感,即要减轻缺乏行动所带来的致命影响。虽然该领域的发展主要是为了应对一些关键事件,而这些事件深深植根于种族主义以及其他研究和医疗保健领域的压迫结构,但该领域在学术、教学、宣传和实践中却没有将种族正义作为中心,也忽视了将反种族主义作为核心考虑因素。生命伦理学学术项目在决定该领域的规范和实践方面发挥着关键作用,包括方法论、资金优先级以及与公平、包容和认识论正义有关的专业网络。本文介绍了生物伦理学项目主任协会(Association of Bioethics Program Directors)委托种族平等、多样性和包容性(REDI)特别工作组提出的建议,以优先考虑和加强生物伦理学项目工作中的反种族主义实践,并评估和制定推进 REDI 的具体目标。
