UW Philosophy Associate Professor Carina Fourie has been awarded a grant by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to work on her book manuscript, Securing Health Equity. In the book, under advance contract from Oxford University Press, Carina evaluates which frameworks of social justice should be used in public health to guide how to improve population health, reduce health inequities, and pursue health sciences research ethically. Carina will argue that we need a conception of social justice that foremost centers treating people as social equals. The NIH award is a National Library of Medicine Grant for Scholarly Works in Biomedicine and Health for 2024 and 2025.
