On Monday, April 3rd at 12pm Pacific/3pm Eastern (find your local time zone here) the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH) affinity group on Feminist Approaches to Bioethics is hosting a virtual works-in-progress session for scholars to get feedback on news works in feminist approaches to bioethics. Anyone working on feminist approaches to bioethics broadly construed is welcome to join, learn about emerging work in feminist bioethics, and provide feedback. No need to be a member of ASBH or the FAB Affinity Group. Registration link here to join.
2 New Works In Progress
Hannah Carpenter from The University of Texas Medical Branch will present on “Affording Access to Contraception” arguing that although the US Affordable Care Act has generally improved access and affordability of contraception, in the context of limited abortion access greater contraception access is imperative, including full coverage of contraception without restrictions in order to achieve reproductive autonomy.
Darcy Metcalfe from the University of Findlay will present on “Race-ing the Future’: Ending the Use of Racial Categories in Biotechnology,” a project that aims to end the use of racialized categories in the research, funding, and marketing of genetic biotechnologies in order for new and burgeoning genetic technologies to be free of the racialized harms of medical history.
Come learn about these project, provide collaborative and constructive feedback, and network with others working within feminist approaches to bioethics.
