## Resource

In this episode, host Gwyneth Shaw talks to Professor  Osagie K. Obasogie , a professor of law and bioethics and the only UC Berkeley faculty member to hold an appointment at both our law school and our  School of Public Health , including the  Joint Medical Program  with UC San Francisco. As a sociologist of law and medicine, Obasogie’s research combines doctrinal scholarship with empirical methods and novel theoretical approaches to understand the ways race is central to how the institutions of law and medicine operate. He’s the author of  Blinded By Sight: Seeing Race Through the Eyes of the Blind  and co-editor of  Beyond Bioethics: Toward a New Biopolitics , and his scholarship has been published in top law reviews as well as major medical and science journals. Obasogie is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine and won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2022.  Recently, he organized and wrote the opening essay for a major project published in the  Los Angeles Review of Books , “ Legacies of Eugenics .” Over the next couple of years, the review is publishing essays from more than a dozen scholars and writers examining how the ideas underpinning eugenics continue to shape many aspects of science, medicine, and technology in ways that we often don’t appreciate. The project is supported by the Center for Genetics and Society, the Nova Institute, and UC Berkeley’s  Othering & Belonging Institute  and school of public health.  About “Berkeley Law Voices Carry” is a podcast hosted by Gwyneth Shaw in Berkeley Law's Office of Communications about how the school’s faculty, students, and staff are making an impact — in California, across the country, and around the world — through pathbreaking scholarship…
