"Science is not inherently “good” or “real”; its claims to and on reality are constructed like all forms of knowledge. It is often the handmaiden of violence and dispossession. Moving beyond generic defenses of science in an age of populist skepticism and backlash, this political moment actually requires an evaluation of different types of science and an excavation of their specific relationships to forms of power and exploitation. An abolitionist science could be used to do that important work."
Saw this piece that connected to the other piece I posted about decolonizing science. Also related to the march that went on this weekend.
