Overview

Health care injustices of race, class and gender inequality have plagued American medicine for centuries. Few African American bioethicists have critiqued these issues effectively through case study analysis of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and other related studies. However, Obiora N. Anekwe confronts these ethical challenges upfront without hesitation. He discusses how unethical actions have negatively affected the medical treatment of the most vulnerable. Anekwe not only brings these issues to the forefront, but he also offers tangible solutions to our most pressing ethical challenges. In his most recent book, Ethically Speaking: Essays and Other Writings on Race, Class and Justice in Health Care and Medicine, Anekwe discusses race, class, gender, and other related issues from a multilayered and diverse perspective. He also confronts other relevant ethical issues that continue to plague the universal black race such as global colorism and skin bleaching.

Obiora N. Anekwe was born in Alabama on the campus of the Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital. Reared in Lagos, Nigeria, he attended the University of Lagos Staff School as a child. He is a graduate of Clark Atlanta University (B.A, mass media arts with honors), Tuskegee University (M.Ed, counseling and student development), Auburn University (Ed.D, educational leadership), and Columbia University in the City of New York (M.S, bioethics with high honors and distinction). His early educational experiences influenced his commitment to learning, presenting, and conducting research in international education in Germany, Italy, Poland, and Scotland. Before moving to New York, Obiora previously worked as a counselor, instructor, and educational coordinator in the office of the provost at Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Alabama. In addition, he has taught undergraduate teacher education students as an adjunct instructor in educational foundations at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. Obiora has received additional training in bioethics, health care, and clinical ethics from the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University, Union Graduate College, and Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He is a member of the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities, the New York Academy of Sciences, and the American Chemical Society. Obiora has published in the fields of education and bioethics. His first book, Celebrating Life at 24 Hampton Place, documented the Igbo traditional life and home-going celebrations of his great aunt, Catherine N. Anekwe. His second book, Chronicling the Tuskegee Syphilis Study: Essays, Research Writings, Commentaries, and Other Documented Works was cowritten with his brother, Ejinkonye C. Anekwe, Ph.D. Obiora's third book, Ancestral Voices Rising Up: A Collage Series on the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, was published in 2014. As a founding contributing editor and writer for the Columbia University online bioethics journal, Voices in Bioethics, Obiora has written art reviews on public health and bioethics-related issues, in addition to his writings on race, gender, and vulnerable populations in human subjects research. In addition to his duties as contributing editor and writer, Anekwe also serves as coordinator for the art and bioethics section of Voices in Bioethics. Dr. Obiora N. Anekwe resides in Brooklyn, New York with his wife, Rev. Alexis Southerland Anekwe.
