Excited! I have a new book contract with Oxford UP to edit the anthology “Dying of Racism: The Ethics of Black Health.” I brought together 17 top Black scholars to write on various social issues affecting Black people’s health. Coming soon!

Thank you to the Cheever Center for Medical Humanities and Ethics, and the Bryant family for inviting me to give this year’s Dr. Frank Bryant lecture. Past speakers have been the likes of Alondra Nelson, Dayna Matthew Bowen, Damon Tweedy, David R. Williams so I am honored to be in great company.

Thank you Cleveland Clinic for a wonderful visit. Thank you to the outstanding Langston Hughes community center for allowing me to speak about environmental injustices and our health. The personnel at Hughes are wonderful people working hard for their community partners.

Headed to Springfield medical school and UI Springfield to give 2 talks: “The social and ethical dimensions of Black health and chronic diseases” “Believing our stories: Narrating Black health and health equity”

I had a post ready about how I’m leveling up in my career this year and all the things I’m gonna do to take it up a level, but since January is already January-ing, nah. My goal this year is to have an easy 2025. Very easy.

It's official! The Public Philosophy Network is accepting proposals for its eighth conference, to be held October 17th-19th, 2025 at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont, sponsored by The/La Collaborative. The theme is Public Philosophy and Social Change: Legacies, Grassroots, and New Directions.

When you’re writing a paper about a demographic that includes you (woman writing about women’s health for example), do you say “we” or “they”? What’s your practice?

The bioethics/applied health ethics/public health ethics starter pack is full (150 people!). Rather than removing less active folks or gatekeeping I'll start another one - so keep letting me know if you're interested in being listed or see anyone who should be added. go.bsky.app/ERXDCeB

I just set up a starter pack for bioethics/applied health ethics/public health ethics. I'm sure I've missed a ton of people, so let me know if you'd like to be included. go.bsky.app/HQVYom8
