En el artículo abordo el tema de género desde la coyuntura que ofrece la carta del Vaticano en respuesta a los movimientos feministas. Busco evidenciar el discurso de la Iglesia, desde el rescate de lo no dicho o lo que permanece silenciado bajo las declaraciones respecto a la ética del cuidado, la renuncia al poder y el ideal heterosexual, para proponer otra mirada hacia las prácticas, una que contenga nuevas pistas para el contrato social que se vive en lo cotidiano, en el día a día que suele quedar oculto cuando se aborda la política sólo desde el plano macro social, o se pretende navegar sin obstáculos en una sociedad transparente a los nodos de poder. ; In this article I address the issue of gender, prompted by the Vatican's letter in response to feminist movements. My purpose is to make the Church's discourse plain by bringing out what is unspoken, or what has been silenced. I examine the Church's declarations on the ethics of care, the renunciation of power and the heterosexual ideal, and I propose a different view. I argue for a new conception of the social contract by which people manage daily life, and which usually remains hidden when politics is addressed only from a macro-social perspective, or when society is seen as allowing unhindered passage.

ABSTRACTAlthough racial and ethnic categories are social constructs without inherent biologic or genetic meaning, race and ethnicity impact health outcomes through racism. The use of racial categories in biomedical research often misattributes the cause of health inequities to genetic and inherent biological differences rather than to racism. Improving research practices around race and ethnicity is an urgent priority and requires education as well as structural change. We describe an evidence‐based intervention for an institutional review board (IRB). Our IRB now requires all biomedical study protocols to define racial and ethnic classifications they plan to use, to state whether they are describing or explaining differences between groups, and to provide justification for any use of racial or ethnic group variables as covariates. This antiracist IRB intervention is an example of how research institutions can help ensure the scientific validity of studies and avoid the unscientific reification of race and ethnicity as inherently biological or genetic concepts.
