On PopHealth Week, our guest today is Yolonda Yvette Wilson. Dr. Wilson is a 2019/2020 fellow at the National Humanities Center and a 2019/2020 Encore Public Voices fellow. She holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Her research interests include bioethics, social and political philosophy, race theory, and feminist philosophy. She is broadly interested in the nature and limits of the state’s obligations to rectify historic and continuing injustice, particularly in the realm of health care, and is developing an account of justice that articulates specific requirements for racial justice in health care at the end of life.

Dr. Wilson's recent article, “Intersectionality in Clinical Medicine: The Need for a Conceptual Framework,” is a consideration on applying intersectionality’s intellectual approach (how race, gender, and other social identities converge in order to create unique forms of oppression) in the clinical environment. Professor Wilson is the lead editor of a forthcoming special issue of The Journal of Social Philosophy entitled Exploring Racial Injustice.
