To review, Western science, which is built upon the exploitation and oppression of Black people and communities, is one part of institutionalized racism.
But we can build a more just science. B/c #ScienceIsPolitical, scientists must reflect on the values embedded in their research, and choose the systems that their research works to uphold or dismantle. How does your science perpetuate white supremacy? How does it combat racism?
