Aims and Scope (from publisher):
The vision, mission and major goal of the Bioethics Center at Tuskegee University are based on the interdependence of spheres of ethics, social justice and public health. Ethics is defined broadly, “the wide-ranging study of right and wrong, as well as good and bad, insofar as these pertain to conduct and character.” (Laud-Hammond, 2007) Social Justice, at the Bioethics Center focusses on fairness, who decides, why and when. Within the context of the work for the Bioethics Center, public health is anything that affects the community on a mass basis. These broad definitions are used to allow more narrow descriptions in each sub-goal as they are more fully developed. The trans-disciplinary team approach to bioethics and public health ethics related to health and healthcare among selected health disparity populations in targeted Black Belt counties and beyond requires capacity beyond cultural competency and demands cultural proficiencies associated with race/ethnicity, gender, class and geographic locale. None of these proficiencies are achievable without a firm ethical foundation.
