Professor Keisha Ray received her PhD in philosophy from the University of Utah.
She is currently a tenured Associate Professor and holds the John P. McGovern, MD Professorship of Oslerian Medicine at the McGovern Center for Humanities & Ethics at UT Health Houston, where she also serves as the Director of the Medical Humanities Scholarly Concentration.
Most of Dr. Ray’s work focuses on the effects of institutional racism on Black people’s health, highlighting Black people’s own stories in Black health discourse, and the sociopolitical implications of biomedical enhancement for marginalized populations.
Her work uniquely prioritizes linguistic justice as a matter of access and commitment to public scholarship.
