“…Before Dobbs, Texas Senate Bill 8 offered a glimpse into the dangerous future of abortion bans and raised questions about which communities were disproportionately harmed by abortion restrictions and increasingly made vulnerable by the research process ( 6 ). Previous scholarship reveals that women in minoritized communities may experience excessive research risks and barriers to meaningful research participation because of preexisting comorbidities, environmental factors, and structural inequities ( 30 , 40 , 41 ). These concerns are heightened in states and territories that restrict or ban abortion.…”

Nearly 50 years after Roe versus Wade, the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs versus Jackson Women’s Health Organization unraveled the constitutional right to abortion, allowing individual states to severely restrict or ban the procedure. In response, leading medical, public health, and community organizations have renewed calls for research to elucidate and address the burgeoning social and medical consequences of new abortion restrictions. Abortion research not only includes studies that establish the safety, quality, and efficacy of evidence-based abortion care protocols, but also encompasses studies on the availability of abortion care, the consequences of being denied an abortion, and the legal and social burdens surrounding abortion. The urgency of these calls for new evidence underscores the importance of ensuring that research in this area is conducted in an ethical and respectful manner, cognizant of the social, political, and structural conditions that shape reproductive health inequities and impact each stage of research—from protocol design to dissemination of findings. Research ethics relates to the moral principles undergirding the design and execution of research projects, and concerns itself with the technicalities of ethical questions related to the research process, such as informed consent, power relations, and confidentiality. Critical insights and reflections from reproductive justice, community engagement, and applied ethics frameworks have bolstered existing research ethics scholarship and discourse by underscoring the importance of meaningful engagement with community stakeholders—bringing attention to overlapping structures of oppression, including racism, sexism, and ways that these structures are perpetuated in the research process.

“…A global pandemic and on-going incidents of social injustice continue to challenge our understanding of architecture and how it contributes to the traumas of noncircularity. Significantly, those most impacted by the ravages of 2020 and 2021 continue to be the same communities most disenfranchised by wasteful and polluting building activities entrenched in the fossil fuel industrial complex [14,15]. In this paper, 'under represented and under resourced' refers to populations who have little to no financial stake in the production and consumption of building-based fossil fuel products and services; even as they are most impacted by their manufacturing, use, and disposal.…”

“…According to Brand, "Adaptive use is the destiny of most buildings, but the subject is not taught in Architecture Schools." 15 Architects might avoid discussing remodelling and refurbishment because it is seen as unheroic, yet Brand asserts that buildings endear themselves to us when preserved for future generations and when we apply the learning of a century of sophisticated building preservation to (new) construction.…”

Radical Tectonics is a multi-scalar approach to improving the short-and long-term outcomes of sustainable design and circular economies. Community empowerment, building reuse, and material regeneration are three fundamental principles of a radical tectonics which operates simultaneously at the macro, meso, and micro scale. Three tactics define our integrated approach to radical tectonics: building material choices and labor practices which favor the health, safety, and prosperity of communities; urban design policies which favor the re-habilitation, re-use, re-programming and re-mining of existing structures; building construction innovations that channel the adoption of traditional, craft-based, local, low-energy, and regenerative materials. Not only does each scale introduce an original interpretation of tectonics (as a form of built justice, a practice of urban re-mining, and regenerating matter) but their integration speaks to the question of 'radicality' which at its simplest form references change or action with essential, fundamental, and all-encompassing outcomes. In this sense, this collaboratively written paper introduces a methodological approach whose multi-scaler insistence on circularity is essential to its role as transformative agent.

Addressing Anti‐Black Racism in Bioethics: Responding to the Call

As a field concerned with ethical issues in health and health care, particularly how structures, policies, and practices unfairly advantage some and disadvantage others, bioethics has a moral obligation to address the long‐standing challenges that racism has posed to the overall health and well‐being of Black, Indigenous, and Latinx people and other people of color. Arguably, the premature death and disease disproportionately affecting Black Americans and the well‐documented association of such death and illness with racism are issues that have not gained due attention in bioethics. This multiauthored report highlights the intergenerational work of mostly Black scholars and aims to create an agenda for bioethics that addresses anti‐Black racism and the ways in which this form of racism threatens the actualization of justice in health and health care, not only for Black people and other minoritized groups but also for all people. This special report contains five major sections representing different approaches to scholarship, including theoretical, empirical, and narrative forms. The first section features two target articles focused on anti‐Black racism and health care settings, with each article accompanied by two commentaries. The second section includes four essays thematically centered around anti‐Black racism and health equity research and practice. Section three features four essays that explore anti‐Black racism and bioethics. The next section consists of four essays framing a braver, bolder, and broader bioethics. We conclude with a powerful tribute to the late Marian Gray Secundy, a bioethics luminary, friend, colleague, role model, and mentor, and a tie that binds together many bioethics scholars who prioritize social justice in their scholarship and praxis.
