The Silent Message We Send to Future Bioethicists
No full textDe nombreux bioéthiciens ne considèrent pas que l’engagement fasse partie de leur rôle, malgré les effets considérables du climat sociopolitique actuel sur les soins de santé et la recherche en santé. En tant qu’étudiante canadienne graduée aux États-Unis, je réfléchis à l’expérience unique que représente l’étude de la bioéthique à une époque où le financement de la recherche en santé est en déclin et où la culture de la répression académique domine. Je discute des leçons passives que les étudiants tirent des actions (ou de l’absence d’actions) des bioéthiciens, et explique pourquoi le fait d’exprimer notre solidarité avec d’autres groupes touchés peut renforcer notre communauté universitaire, en donnant des exemples de ce à quoi peuvent ressembler ces efforts de défense des droits.Many bioethicists do not consider advocacy to be part of their role despite the longstanding relationship between health research and the sociopolitical forces that shape it.

I discuss the passive lessons that students are learning from the actions (or lack thereof) of bioethicists, and why expressing solidarity with other affected groups can strengthen our academic community, pointing to examples of what these advocacy efforts can look like
An Examination of Federal Tribal Broadband Funding Post-COVID
No full textThis article examines federal investment in Tribal broadband deployment, from the COVID-19 era to the present day. It discusses how legislation initially enacted in response to the pandemic established programs to improve digital access and connectivity in Tribal communities. While these programs did not solve every problem, they enabled Tribes to have greater control over resources to achieve the goal of expanded broadband connectivity. This reassignment of control recognized Tribal sovereignty in ways that earlier initiatives had not, and many Tribes embraced the challenges. Future funding programs must continue to empower Tribes and not mandate how Tribes use their resources. Empowering Tribal Nations to make their own decisions and providing the tools to accomplish that is a foundational part of the federal government’s trust responsibility to federally recognized Tribal Nations
