I am writing a paper on racism in science and would like to hear reports about scientists and researchers who have experienced situations involving racist attitudes from other researchers, and how this issue has impacted or impacts on research.
It is a very interesting issue. But are you looking for cata in a specific country, or globally? I thik this is very important. In fact I suspect that the results would be very different to one conuntry to another. For example racism in Spain is not a significant factor in science.
I recommend reading material on the decolonisation of science. For example, authors like Boaventura de Sousa Santos.
Also, this short-paper published in The Lancet could be interesting for you: https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/ebiom/PIIS2352-3964(20)30304-2.pdf
Kind regards!
It influences a lot, a lot: without going any further, the concept of "race" is not valid for the Human Being, it was invented by the racists (and the Hugo Project, with the sequencing of the entire human genome, has definitively demonstrated that already enough We affirm it: In the Human Being, ALL OF THE SAME SPECIES DO NOT EXIST RACES! National Socialist anthropology, which tried to substantiate the concept (pseudo-concept in reality) that the "Aryan race" was the superior with its studies and theoretical validation (absolutely false) of the phrase "Gegen Tipus" or "Gegenthipus" - totally refuted by Eysenck, Adorno et al. and many others, fortunately - and even affirming that the "non-Aryans" were or are
"subhuman" (especially Jews).
The problem is that racism is a false "Psychopathology", but that it has cost and continues to cost MILLIONS OF HUMAN LIVES !; I suggest that you read several of our contributions, here in "RG" on Racism, Prejudices, Stereotypes, Ethnocentrism, etc. (both in Articles, as in Chapters, POnences, etc.) that are TRUE TOXIC AND POLLUTING IDEAS, and HOW TO FIGHT THEM. Thanks.
This is very important issue in the scientific society but the mentioned issue has a low importance in the universal scale and kind of is located on the sidelines, unfortunately. Nowadays, it has begun a new vague/ambiguous thinking stream so that it has discarded many common routine patterns in the past. In fact, this is a modern contemporary racism in the scientific community and it is gradually developing.
Hi Dr Denise Bacellar- Nunes . Racism if applied in any part of our life ( science, education, health, agriculture, industry , ..etc) then it will damage it . Racism can take different shapes and types . It is against human rights . It is one of the biggest problem recently
