“…It is critical to understand the legacy of unethical research on incarcerated people. Historically, the participation of incarcerated populations in biomedical research was often secured by combination of coercion and manipulation, including excessive payments and benefits, time away from the cell block interacting with medical professionals who were not as abusive as many correctional staff, and early parole consideration [34].

“…It is in the heresy of a new Studia where she locates the autopoetic overturn of 'Man' and the praxis of being hybridly human, in fuller recognition of humans as 'hybridly biological and symbolic beings'. 143 The metaphor for the autopoetic overturn, and the impulse for the Studia itself, is the 'Ceremony' that must be found to allow Othello to marry Desdemona, in other words, the resources with which we can intellectually breach the '"Color Line's" divide'. 144 Revisiting her well-known 1984 'Ceremony Must Be Found' essay, Wynter reorients both the answer to the question of who we are and the content of the new Studia around the search for a newly understood humanist praxis of 'the We-the-ecumenically-Human', in which we acknowledge the 'ontological unity of intra-human relations'; how we are 'intimately involved with all other life on our shared planet'.…”

Prolegomena to Any Future Decolonial Ethics: Coloniality, Poetics and ‘Being Human as Praxis’

Decolonial thought has wrought a devastating critique on the Academy and wide-ranging fields within it. Decolonial critique entails undeniable and multiple ethico-political orientations arising from concrete struggles within the ‘unfinished project of decolonization’ (Maldonado-Torres), as well as recent articulations of decolonial ethics. This article argues that, as decolonial critique, and calls for decolonial ethics, begin to find their way into broader theoretical discussions in the social sciences and humanities, it may be more fruitful to insist on the question of decolonial ethics. It encourages retaining the disruptive potential of decolonial critique by resisting its immediate translations into available ethical registers and traditions that unwittingly reassert, and remain bound to, forms of ethical expression dependent on generalised narratives, which occlude their histories of violent and racialised exclusion and masterful figurations of ethical subjectivity. Outlining Sylvia Wynter’s excavation of prominent figurations of the human as ‘Man’, I argue that our conceptions of ethical subjects too rest on such figurations. The article, therefore, discusses three prolegomena to any future decolonial ethics: the decolonial critique and displacement of the figure of ‘Man’ as ethical subject within racialised coloniality; the development of a decolonising poetics, whose ethos of irreverence seeks forms of poetic revolt that draw on struggles to question systems of ethical thought and knowledge; finally, a discussion of the contours of a praxis of being hybridly human through the development of ‘education’ as an incessant and ‘unfinished’ project.

Clinical trials conducted with incarcerated populations are rare. We present a case example of one such jail-based cancer prevention clinical trial to demonstrate the importance of including a theory-driven approach to intervention framing, novel experimental designs to boost access to low-risk trials, and retention strategies for long-term follow-up of hard-to-reach populations. As such we offer a social determinant of health framework to ensure cancer prevention research is conducted through the lenses of health promotion and health equity. Deviations from the gold-standard randomized control design, transparent systematic allotment, and street-based outreach retention strategies contribute to the feasibility of conducting clinical trials in carceral settings and after people leave jail. Best practices presented can be used in design and conduct of future clinical trials with criminal legal system-involved populations.
