Bioethics Tweeps: As we do the long-overdue work of diversifying our syllabi, speaker invitation lists, scholarly networks + field more broadly, here are some #BlackBioethics scholars to follow/read/cite/invite/amplify/know.
If you’ve already started this work, please add to this list! I’m especially interested to learn more about rising #BlackBioethics stars who deserve more attention.
Let me start with 2 amazing #BlackBioethics scholars at Penn. First, Anita L. Allen, @Lawprofaallen:

Let’s take a break from the lawyers, shall we? Ruha Benjamin, @ruha9:

There’s lots more I could’ve said about the contributions of each of these #BlackBioethics scholars. Check out their profiles + read their work. I’ve pulled most info from uni sites, which aren’t always up to date – hoping the details I’ve shared here are still correct.
White colleagues, here’s more essential reading: medium.com/the-faculty/wh…
Finally, check out this statement on bioethics + racism from the Association of Bioethics Program Directors and commit to taking action – real action, not platitudes – to #DiversifyBioethics and engage our field in anti-racism. You can add your name here: forms.gle/sTbhyUR8j6t7p5…
PS - Love to see all the additional recommendations already! Keep them coming and I'll do an update so everyone gets a snazzy Twitter pic with a list of key info, hopefully to make the thread easier to follow without missing anyone.
