SUMMARY:Ethics of Using Artificial Intelligence in Research and Writing: Emerging Issues
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the nature of research and scholarly writing. Although the use of AI offers many benefits to scientific research and academic scholarship\, it also creates ethical challenges concerning bias\, authorship\, transparency\, accountability\, and public trust. This talk examined some of the ethical issues raised by using artificial intelligence in scientific research and scholarly writing and discussed some proposed solutions.

SUMMARY:Working with What’s Missing: Ethical Strategies for Incomplete Data
DESCRIPTION:Missing\, inaccessible and incomplete data have long shaped the ways researchers frame studies and understand the limits of their work. Join us for a panel discussion where we will explore a number of questions concerning these persistent conditions of missingness: \n\nWhat ethical obligations arise when the data we need isn’t available or may never have existed?\nHow can researchers responsibly interpret and represent gaps\, silences and absences in data?\nWhen can collaboration with communities help preserve or reimagine data that is at risk of disappearing?\n\nTogether\, we’ll consider how the research community can adapt its practices to work ethically and creatively with what’s missing. \nThis event will be held online and is open to the public. \n\n\n\n\nThis event is presented in partnership with the Center for Ethics and Human Values’ CARE Program.

SUMMARY:Black History Month Event: The Legacy of the Tuskegee Report
DESCRIPTION: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. \nSpeakers: \n\nT. S. Harvey\, PhD\, Associate Professor of Medical and Linguistic Anthropology and Global Health at Vanderbilt University\nDavid 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\n\nModerator: \n\nRebecca Weintraub Brendel\, MD\, JD\, Director of the Center for Bioethics at Harvard Medical School\n\n\n Register here to receive the Zoom link and call-in details in your automated confirmation email. \nThe recording will be uploaded to our YouTube channel in the weeks following the event date\, pending no technical issues. Registrants will receive a follow-up email containing the recording link when it is ready. \nSupport provided by the Oswald DeN. Cammann Fund at Harvard University. This series is co-organized by the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics\, the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care at Tuskegee University\, and the Office for Culture and Community Engagement at Harvard Medical School.

SUMMARY:Three Ways of Looking at Black/White Mortality Inequality in the United States
DESCRIPTION:A basic demographic fact about the United States is that\, on average\, White people live longer than Black people. But what\, concretely\, does this fact mean? Drawing from a diverse set of social science\, health\, and literary sources\, this talk argues that research has three families of strategy for making sense of the size of mortality disparities — distribution-based\, action-based\, and meaning-based measures — and provides new empirical results in each vein that collectively aim to put demographic measurement onto a more human footing. Implications for thinking about redress for racial harms are discussed. \nElizabeth Wrigley-Field\, PhD\, is an associate professor at the University of Minnesota. A sociologist and demographer\, she studies racial inequality in mortality in the historical and contemporary United States\, and specializes in finding comparisons and metrics that illuminate the human meaning of mortality disparities. She has extensively researched the Covid-19 pandemic in Minnesota\, where she also co-founded an award-winning community vaccination organization (the Seward Vaccine Equity Project). She is also a demographic methodologist\, developing models designed to clarify relationships between micro and macro perspectives on population processes. She was until recently the Associate Director of the Minnesota Population Center and is currently a Visiting Scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation.

SUMMARY:Conflict Resolution and Clinical-Setting Mediation for Healthcare
