Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Virtual Event: The Disordered Cosmos

Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred

From the publisher: One of the leading physicists of her generation, Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is also one of fewer than one hundred Black American women to earn a PhD from a department of physics. Her vision of the cosmos is vibrant, buoyantly non-traditional, and grounded in Black feminist traditions. Prescod-Weinstein urges us to recognize how science, like most fields, is rife with racism, sexism, and other dehumanizing systems. She lays out a bold new approach to science and society that begins with the belief that we all have a fundamental right to know and love the night sky.
