SUMMARY:Author Talk: Harriet A. Washington
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, Feb 15 at 8pm ET | 5pm PT\, PBS Books\, in partnership with the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH)\, is pleased to host a conversation with scholar and author Harriet A. Washington\, discussing African American health and inequities. \nAs a medical ethicist\, Harriet Washington has a unique and courageous voice and deconstructs the politics around medical issues\, including ‘scientific racism.’ In this conversation\, she will share about the powerful and disturbing portrait of medicine\, race\, sex\, and the abuse of power. Washington also makes the case for broader political consciousness of science and technology\, challenging audiences to see the world differently and challenge established paradigms in the history of medicine. Her latest book\, Carte Blanche: The Erosion of Medical Consent\, documents the alarming tale of how the right of Americans to say “no” to risky medical research is being violated. This program is offered as part of ASALH’s annual conference. \nAbout the Scholar and Author\nHarriet A.
