Biography

Sean Valles is a philosopher specializing in the ethical and evidentiary complexities of social contexts, focusing on how local food options, exposure to violent policing practices, and other factors contribute to patterns of inequitable health disparities. His work includes a critical examination of the challenges in responsibly using concepts of race and ethnicity to monitor health disparities, as well as scrutinizing the rhetoric surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic as an 'unprecedented' issue. He is the author of the book 'Philosophy of Population Health: Philosophy in a New Public Health Era' published in 2018 and serves as co-editor of the Oxford University Press book series 'Bioethics and Social Justice' alongside Quill R.
