Science/tech politics and policy, political economy of innovation focused on equity/justice. STS scholar. Author. STPP Director at Ford School, UMich. #TheReceivedWisdom podcast. http://shobitap.org
And as always, our show notes feature relevant links and study questions (I think that this episode in particular could be useful for teaching!)
On the new episode of The Received Wisdom, @jackstilgoe and I chat w/Amy Moran-Thomas, who first sounded the alarm about racism embedded in the pulse oximeter in August 2020. (I'm so excited about this interview!) Learn about the challenges she faced in getting her concerns published, and her reflections on how we can address racism in medical devices moving forward.

We support local organizations in their advocacy, through direct consulting and "horizon-scanning" briefs.
