| Untitled by Elisa Castro |
1. In biology we are taught - race is biological
2. In sociology we are taught - race is a social and demographic construct
3. Maturity - call race what you want, but note that when our interpretations confront the world, we need to get real. We have real communities to grow up in, and serious racial issues to tackle.
* Xenophobia / Hate crimes
* Segregation / Desegregation
* Integration / Immigration
* Affirmative Action / Reparations
Author of The Nature of Race, New York University sociology professor Ann Morning, Ph.D., speaks at the Baker Institute about how scientists influence ideas about race through teachings and textbooks.
