ALT Quote from author Deboleena Roy on Tracing Colonial Legacies, that was published in the Spring 2022 issue of Catalyst (Vol. 8, No. 1): “Frontstaging the chemical MIC allows us to trace the specific pathways of colonial legacies that have assumed unfettered access to raw materials and biolabor extracted from the soil, plants, animals, and humans in Bhopal.”

1/14 It’s book release day for #MisconceivingMerit with @CechErin from @UChicagoPress!
Using survey, interview, & admin data, we show how academic STEM culture, esp. cherished beliefs in objectivity & meritocracy, CREATES unfair outcomes for scientists & hurts science.
