Dorothy Roberts was recently awarded a grant from the Brocher Foundation to support a workshop, "Quantifying Race: How Politics, Economics, and Medical Myopia Drive Color-Coded Data." She's co-organizing the workshop with author Harriet Washington, and it will be held in June at the Brocher Centre in Hermance, Switzerland. The Brocher Foundation hosts scientists and experts in the ethical, legal, and social implications of the development of medical research and biotechnologies.
Also, in case you missed it, Professor Roberts has recently been featured on a host of media outlets discussing the social implications of the arrests of mothers for maltreating their children (stories that have been recently covered in the news). Her apprearances include All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC, Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane on WHYY, the Boston Globe (as previously reported), US News & World Report, and Slate. Check out the coverage below.
