Black History Month Event: The Legacy of the Tuskegee Report
The Tuskegee Report—developed by Tuskegee University’s National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care in collaboration with Vanderbilt University—seeks to redefine bioethics at the intersection of research with human subjects, clinical trials, medicine, and public health by centering the voices, experiences, histories and cultural identities of populations disproportionately impacted by unethical research practices and unequal care. This Black History Month conversation, hosted by Harvard Medical School’s Center for Bioethics, will feature Dr. David Augustin Hodge, Sr. and Dr. T.S. Harvey, facilitated by Dr. Rebecca Brendel. Together, they will explore how the perspectives of BIPOC populations—rooted in resilience, memory, and lived experience—must be foundational in shaping the next generation of ethical frameworks for research, medicine, and public health.
Speakers:
- T. S. Harvey, PhD, Associate Professor of Medical and Linguistic Anthropology and Global Health at Vanderbilt University
- David Augustin Hodge, Sr., PhD, DMin, MEd, MTS, Director (Interim), Lead Ethicist, and Research Professor at the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Healthcare at Tuskegee University
Moderator:
- Rebecca Weintraub Brendel, MD, JD, Director of the Center for Bioethics at Harvard Medical School
