In this talk, James Doucet-Battle of the University of California, Santa Cruz, draws from his recent book, "Sweetness in the Blood: Race, Risk, and Type 2 Diabetes'' (Minnesota, 2021), to highlight the bioethical intersections of race and gender in Type 2 diabetes research recruitment. Through the raced and gendered lens of HeLa and the case of Henrietta Lacks, Doucet-Battle links HeLa's salience to diabetes research with its problematic relevance to contemporary genomic science. Framing this discussion within a larger historical interrogation of the "social death" (Patterson) of "slavery and its afterlives" (Hartman), Doucet-Battle outlines his current project that counterpoises the research desire to gather sub-Saharan genomic diversity with ethno-nationalist resistance to diversity as a sociopolitical project.
