Race & Racism in the Sciences Speaker Series: What’s Real About Race? Untangling Science, Genetics, and Society

Meyer 102 6 Washington Pl, New York, NY, United States

In recent years, genetic and social researchers have ramped up research and development around the undeniably real effects of race. Yet, the new technologies that we are creating are perpetuating old systems of harm, in particular old systems of racism, in new ways. From genome science, we know that race may not be genetically “real,” yet we experience it as a mundane fact of life, something spinning in the background, constantly shaping us in unseen ways. From social science, we know that race is also deeply politicized—it conditions our ability to access rights and resources—and yet we don’t get to choose our race because how others see us is something physiological that we cannot control. This talk will draw on genetics and sociology to answer the enduring question: If race is a social construct, then what’s real about race?
