We Need To Talk About Whiteness - with Angela Saini

Episode 2 - The whiteness of science - In this episode, I'm joined by science journalist and author Angela Saini, to discuss the cultural pillars of whiteness, off the back of her most recent book "Superior: The Return of Race Science" in which she tells the disturbing story of the persistent thread of belief in biological racial differences in the world of science. Many of the myths around the biological differences between humans along racial lines continue to inform people's world views today, including among some very 'imminent' scientists... so how does the science of whiteness contribute to the story of whiteness and what does the persistence of these myths tell us about the true state of 'progress' when it comes to equality...
