UNC NRP Special Education Session: Lessons from Lacks and other stories: Prioritizing human rights and equality in research ethics and design
Please join the UNC Network for Research Professionals and Aileen Editha (pronouns: she/her), a PhD candidate and Robert Sutherland Fellow in Law at Queen's University in Katarokwi (Kingston), Ontario, for a special NRP session on how research ethics and design have perpetuated biases and inequalities in healthcare and scientific research using case studies, including that of Henrietta Lacks, Moore, the Havasupai tribe, the Nuu-chah-nulth, and others. Ms. Editha is interested in exploring the intersections between property law and healthcare through a critical legal lens.
