Some of the articles already online (more to come) include:

8) @bryanmukandi uses literature, philosophy, art & history to examine 'the Black person who is seen by a health professional" and critically addresses "the functions and effects of the racializing gaze" in the medical encounter. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

9) @drcwatego @MuttonFatVille & Sissy Tyson argue that the "extent to which a radical bioethics can be put to service in the name of more just outcomes is dependent upon bringing Black bodies and lives into full view." link.springer.com/article/10.100…
