Journal Club

EPIMI is happy to announce that it is launching a journal club to encourage more people to critically engage with ethics and philosophy in medical imaging research. To sign up for our next journal club or to see the recordings of previous journal clubs, please read the following information. In order to keep the discussion focused, each journal club will be limited to the first 50 registrants.

Previous journal clubs:

Dr. Joanna Malinowska discusses the conceptualisation of racialised individuals in biomedial results (Apr 3, 2023)

Dr. Joanna Malinowska from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, leads our second journal club in which we discuss her and Tomasz Żuradzki's recent paper entitled "Towards the multileveled and processual conceptualisation of racialised individuals in biomedical research" (Synthese, 201(1), open access article available here). This article discusses the concept of racialisation (as opposed to that of race or ethnicity) and how this concept can be more precise and suitable for different aspects of biomedical research.
