Taught the “superpredator” history in my UG methods class this year to talk about politics/ideology/bias/research and its consequences. What is past is prologue, sadly.
-
That's excellent. I tied a lot of this to research ethics when I taught methods last year.

Learned this in a criminology course a few years ago and it is still to this day the best class I’ve taken

science in the service of capitalism is fundamentally racistAF. this is why pre-capitalist europeans made up the whole concept of race to begin with; to classify & justify the exploitation of the people in the lands they invaded under the pretense of “racial inferiority”

Did this person use the scientific method and peer review to confirm superpredator as an accepted term? Or was it just an academic with an opinion paper? Simply being in academia does not make you a scientist. No doubt that academic was racist. But scientific methodology is not.
-
get over it science can be racist and the scientific method is not the pure hyper rational tool you want it to be: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics_in_the_United_States …

any tool wielded by humans, no matter how many safeguards or how strong the system, is corruptable

I remember seeing a fantastic poster presentation about 20-ish years ago on how IQ tests were inherently biased vs people of color/to favor white urban children. Lady went on to do her PhD on the topic if I understand correctly. I barely got a chance to speak to her.

A lot of good work is being out in to try to see the systemic problems. That's the first step on the road to repairing our sociocultural infrastructures. I wish I could remember her name for you, though. Sounds like your work has crossover.

a stupid neologism is not 'science' science and comments made academics are not the same thing
