Gail Henderson, PhD, coauthored a new book, Bioethics Reenvisioned: A Path Toward Health
Justice
(UNC Press, 2022). The book, coauthored with two former Social Medicine faculty members,
Nancy King and Larry Churchill, argues it is time for bioethics to take full account of the problems of
health disparities and structural injustice that are made newly urgent by the COVID19 pandemic and
the effects of climate change. Henderson and coauthors make the case for a more social
understanding and application of justice, a deeper humility in assessing expertise in bioethics
consulting, a broader and more relevant research agenda, and greater appreciation of the profound
health implications of global warming.
