All electronic equipment, especially mobile phones, must be set to silent before entering the Theatre and/or any other spaces where events are taking place. Smoking Although the case was taken seriously by the manager (referred to as the ‘chief doctor’), it was handled as a one-off incident and did not generate any guidelines or protocols against racism in the workplace. Failing to institute clear guidelines on racism may further silence racism thereby making it even more invisible. My one real quibble with it is that I would have preferred him not to describe his previous employment in the anatomy department as being awful, repeatedly. I am aware of what is involved and have spent time in anatomy rooms, that's not my problem but as someone who facilitated her father's donation and who is signed up, along with other loved ones, to donate herself, eventually I'd rather not think those dealing with us dislike it so much. Burnett delves into the origins of existence and how emotions affect us. This book gives another perspective of emotional intelligence taking into account Burnett’s personal experiences, professional input as a neuroscientist, and profound insights into the grieving process to reveal how our emotions shape our identity.

An emotional education may require us to adopt two different starting points. For a start, how we are taught may matter inordinately, because we have ingrained tendencies to shut our ears to all the major truths about our deeper selves. Our settled impulse is to blame anyone who lays our blind spots and insufficiencies bare, unless our defenses have first been adroitly and seductively appeased. In the face of critically important insights, we get distracted, proud, or fidgety. We may prefer to do almost anything other than take in information that could save us. Take all that into account, why would any intelligent person become a scientist? With their brain power, they could have much easier, better paid lives in other areas.Bradby H., Hamed S., Thapar-Björkert S., Ahlberg B. M. (2021). Designing an Education Intervention for Understanding Racism in Healthcare in Sweden: Development and Implementation of Anti-racist Strategies through Shared Knowledge Production and Evaluation. Scand. J. Public Health 14034948211040964. 10.1177/14034948211040963 In this case, the dilemma that seemed to weigh heavily on the doctor was his decision to leave the clinic despite knowing there was great need for doctors. This particular doctor seems to have feared for his own life in the face of patients tattooed with swastikas, given the symbol’s relation to historical as well as the contemporary racist violence which can be understood within the context of the increased politics of fear of migrants. No, you do not dare to talk about it in Sweden. Absolutely not. One must absolutely not mention the word racism or comment on something … you know, racist. You have to find other ways of talking about it.

By attending a Royal Institution event, audience members consent to being filmed, livestreamed, recorded and photographed. Audience members grant the Royal Institution the right to use recordings of any type made of their attendance in any and all media, and by means of publicity and promotion relating to the Royal Institution. School parties should ensure that appropriate parental permission is obtained before attendance at any Royal Institution event. Our capacity for emotions is the foundation on which we build, maintain and develop social and parasocial relationships. It is, in part, what allows for altruism and other seemingly impossible acts of sacrifice even at a high personal cost and also the reason behind the immense pain caused by the loss of a loved one.

In spite of racial disparities mentioned above, medical professional practice values solidarity, equality, and scientific rationality highly. The insistence that healthcare is a rational practice of solidarity with the patient at the center ( Judge & Ceci, 2021) acts as a hindrance to discussing the occurrence of racism ( Hamed et al., 2020), and staff who express experiences of racism tend to have their concerns dismissed. This trivializing of racism can be seen as part of what Bain (2018) refers to as the practice of ignorance that, in turn, silences experiences of racism. Milazzo (2017) adds that notions of white ignorance, invisibility, privilege and shame, as theorized in critical philosophy of race, are however limited in the way they minimize white people’s active interest in reproducing the racist status quo. These practices of ignorance are moreover intertwined with practices of oppression and exclusion, which can, among those experiencing racism, translate into anxiety, fear, silence, and denial ( Bain, 2018). Until recently, epistemology has largely neglected ignorance, focusing on knowledge and what is necessary for knowledge, such as epistemic justification. However, over the last 20 years or so the tendency to neglect ignorance has changed, especially in several debates at the intersection of ethics and epistemology. This may come as a surprise, as one might think that ignorance is simply the absence of knowledge and that since the philosophical literature displays an extensive discussion on knowledge, ignorance does not deserve significant philosophical attention. However, it turns out to be philosophically challenging to spell out exactly what ignorance is and that even if it is absence of knowledge, ignorance merits philosophical attention of its own in a wide variety of philosophical debates.

Work, Employment Soc. 31 ( 6), 954–971. 10.1177/0950017016667042 She went on to elaborate on how the supervisor continued to persuade her not to take the abuse seriously since it is so very common: You have pneumonia and we are going to take an x-ray … you are going to get antibiotics today. I am going to send you for an x-ray. When I get the results I will give you a call. When it happened, I did not really know what to say or do. It happened so fast and she was really hurt and sad and we later sought psychological help, both of us, so as to talk about how this patient behavior has affected us. In yet another case, a dentist explained how a patient blamed immigrants for being in Sweden and illegitimately consuming social welfare in the following way:Kristoffersson E., Rönnqvist H., Andersson J., Bengs C., Hamberg K. (2021). "It Was as if I Wasn't There" - Experiences of Everyday Racism in a Swedish Medical School. Soc. Sci. Med. 270, 113678. 10.1016/j.socscimed.2021.113678 The GP explained the condition of the patient and why he made the x-ray decision in the following way: It was the philosophers of ancient Greece who first identified these problems and described the structural deficiencies of our minds with a special term. They proposed that we suffer from akrasia, commonly translated as “weakness of will,” a habit of not listening to what we accept should be heard and a failure to act upon what we know is right. It is because of akrasia that crucial information is frequently lodged in our minds without being active in them, and it is because of akrasia that we often both understand what we should do and resolutely omit to do it. According to this GP doctoral student, there is no space for discussing racism at the university or thereafter in medical practice, and this absence becomes a burden which she says can be traumatizing. Making efforts to actually understand and take emotions into account, rather than generally dismissing, excluding, ignoring, or otherwise handwaving their influence, may well improve scientific research overall.
