Inputs
Abortion through the lens of structural and epistemic injustice
Dr. Agomoni Ganguli-Mitra – University of Edinburgh
As abortion once again becomes a target for populist politics and legal restrictions, it is worth asking: what now? Using insights from Black and transnational feminist, I examine potential avenues for academic discourse and activism in our way to more just abortion access and care.
Black & Brown in Bioethics unfiltered: a call for Bolder Bioethics
Matimba Swana, Kumeri Bandara, and Harleen Kaur Johal – Black and Brown in Bioethics, University of Bristol, and University of Oxford
Systemic racism remains deeply entrenched in healthcare and academia, creating a double leaky pipeline for minoritised scholars within Bioethics. We introduce „Bolder Bioethics,“ a framework that challenges the selective politics that often relegate structural racism to a niche topic. To achieve epistemic justice, we propose elevating Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) as a third academic pillar, equal to research and teaching. This shift redefines authoritative knowledge to include marginalised lived experiences and intellectual traditions. Finally, we share the work of Black and Brown in Bioethics and we provide tangible outputs for dismantling structural barriers. This session is a manifesto for a bolder, more inclusive bioethics that promotes belonging and centres the needs of marginalised people.
