Peebles, I.S. “Searching for peace of mind: Correcting against racial stigma in the age of neurotechnologies,” in The Ethics of Black Health (ed. Keisha Ray).
This chapter proceeds in three parts. The first part presents a brief overview of the history of racial stigma around mental health and cognitive capacities in the US. The second part argues that unless corrective measures are taken to alleviate such stigma, clinical care and medical research risks unjust uses and distributions of emerging neurotechnologies. The chapter closes by offering potential interventions to help secure a more just future in neurological and psychiatric care, including prioritizing social and environmental factors implicated in mental health and advocating for a more diverse workforce in neurology and psychiatry.
Peebles, I.S. and Spencer, Q. "Constructing conceptual frameworks to address racial health disparities" (under review).
We argue that the theories of race and racism that best enable us to solve the racial health disparities problem are a pluralist race theory and a virtue-based theory of racism.
Peebles, I.S. and Peabody-Smith, A. "From policy to practice: On the role of virtue in clinical care and medical research" (under review).
We argue for a more robust integration of virtue ethics in biomedical ethics education and health policy to mitigate social ills commonly seen in clinical practice and medical research.
Title TBD
A multidisciplinary collaboration with the aim of critically analyzing stigmatization in the context of neurotechnology.
