I’m very happy to be organising this workshop with @terezahendl.bsky.social. Bringing the health concerns of Europe’s East – understood in a broad, transregional sense – into global health debates is especially important to me. Join us in Berlin or online (apply by 9 October)!

“Most scholars have relegated eugenics to the trash heap of science history. But much like its original incarnation, its current rise is tangled up in politics, ideology, and an insidious desire to divide people. And on the unfounded notion that biology is the be-all and end-all of a person’s worth”

This is exactly the issue I analyse in my article, including through the example of people racialised as Eastern European. It means a great deal to see these questions receiving such direct editorial attention 💜

The editorial reflects on persistent health inequities in relation to structural and historical #racism, and it addresses the methodological problem of treating "White" as a neutral and homogeneous reference group in #health research. doi.org/10.1007/s110...

Why do drug labels keep reducing pharmacogenomic findings to just three groups: “White, Black, Asian”? I explore why this is still happening. I also argue this practice has no epistemic value — and may mislead, posing real risks, e.g. for patients.
