Ethico-racial positioning in campaigns for Covid-19 research and vaccination featuring public figures
This article analyses a set of videos which featured public figures encouraging racially minoritised people in the UK to take the COVID-19 vaccine or get involved in related research. As racially targeted health communication has both potentially beneficial and problematic consequences, it is important to examine this uniquely high-profile case. Using a purposive sample of 10 videos, our thematic content analysis aimed to reveal how racially mino…
On the genealogy of machine learning datasets
In response to growing concerns of bias, discrimination, and unfairness perpetuated by algorithmic systems, the datasets used to train and evaluate machine learning models have come under increased scrutiny. Many of these examinations have focused on the contents of machine learning datasets, finding glaring underrepresentation of minoritized groups. In contrast, relatively little work has been done to examine the norms, values, and assumptions e…
Protecting UK healthcare workers from patient racism
En el articulo se reinterpretan las representaciones sociales de la participacion politica, en funcion de las imagenes que construyen los actores comunitarios de El Tacal I, estado Sucre, Venezuela. Teoricamente el articulo se sustento en algunas ideas centrales de la Teoria de las Representaciones Sociales (Moscovici), y la Sociologia de la Alteridad (Alarcon), lo que permitio ahondar en los elementos que definen a los ciudadanos como sujetos po…
Closing the AI accountability gap
Rising concern for the societal implications of artificial intelligence systems has inspired a wave of academic and journalistic literature in which deployed systems are audited for harm by investigators from outside the organizations deploying the algorithms. However, it remains challenging for practitioners to identify the harmful repercussions of their own systems prior to deployment, and, once deployed, emergent issues can become difficult or…
Racialised prescribing
This article examines the articulation and enactment of racialised classifications in clinical practice guidelines and in accounts of clinical practice. It contributes to debates about racialisation in medicine and its consequences. The research centred on the case study of prescribing guidelines for hypertension in England and Wales, drawing on documentary sources and semi-structured expert interviews. We found that conceptual and socio-politica…
The under-representation of minority ethnic groups in UK medical research
These findings consolidate previously context-specific evidence of BAME group under-representation in the UK, and highlight heterogeneity in that group. Efforts to address the under-representation of those from BAME groups might benefit from targeted strategies for recruitment and advocacy, although improved data sets are required to fully understand ethnic differences in engagement with medical research
Constructions of collective Muslim identity by advocates of Muslim schools in Britain
n This paper considers how and why collective Muslim identity is expressed and mobilized by advocates of Muslim schools in Britain. This relates to broader questions about the conceptualization, construction and meanings of Muslim identities, and the problem of essentialism that can arise when reporting identity claims that emphasize intra-group unity. Analysis of data from interviews with stakeholders in the debate about Muslim schools in Britai…
The Standardization of Race and Ethnicity in Biomedical Science Editorials and UK Biobanks
As the search for human genetic variation has become a priority for biomedical science, debates have resurfaced about the use of race and ethnicity as scientific classifications. In this paper we consider the relationship between race, ethnicity and genetics, using insights from science and technology studies (STS) about processes of classification and standardization. We examine how leading biomedical science journals attempted to standardize th…
Governing Genetic Databases
This paper reports on the initial findings of an interdisciplinary research project on the governance of human genetic databases in England and Wales. The number of biosample and information collections has expanded, yet considerable legal uncertainty surrounds their definition, collection, storage, management, and use which could inhibit research and clinical practice, while failing to protect the rights and interests of all stakeholders. We rep…
Can Science Alone Improve the Measurement and Communication of Race and Ethnicity in Genetic Research? Exploring the Strategies Proposed by Nature Genetics
The promise of pharmacogenetics
Practical concerns that arise from using race/ethnicity as ‘the most reliable proxy available’
Reporting the dawn of the post-genomic era
On the 26 June 2000 the teams involved in mapping the human genome announced to the world's media that they had completed the 'first draft'. This paper is a content analysis of UK press coverage of the announcement, particularly of the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSIs) contained therein. Widespread and highly visible coverage of the completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP) was characterised by press ambivalence towards, on the on…
