This episode features Patrick T. Smith, Associate Research Professor of Theological Ethics and Bioethics and Senior Fellow in the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University. The conversation focuses on Professor Smith’s new research, which addresses the intersection of race and bioethics. Professor Smith discusses the impact of both racist attitudes and structural racism in pregnancy outcomes in the United States as well as the role of the Christian ethicist in addressing such social problems. Professor Smith also contextualizes this work in relation to both the current moment and the longer push for racial justice in America across the past two centuries.
