Yet scientific myths about human difference live on today in disturbing ways. As ethnic nationalism rises around the world\, race science is experiencing a revival on the far-right\, fuelled by the abuse of data and facts by politically-motivated groups. Even well-intentioned scientists\, through their lazy use of old-fashioned categories\, inappropriately imply that race has some innate basis. \nAngela Saini is an independent British science journalist and author. She presents radio and television programmes on the BBC and her writing has appeared in The Sunday Times\, Nature\, New Scientist\, National Geographic and Wired. She has won a number of national and international journalism awards. \nHer two-part documentary series for BBC Four about the history and science of eugenics aired in autumn 2019\, and was a pick of the day in a number of national newspapers. Her latest book\, Superior: The Return of Race Science\, was published in 2019 to widespread critical acclaim\, was named a book of the year by the Financial Times\, Guardian\, The Telegraph\, and Sunday Times and won the Transmission Prize. Her previous book\, Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong\, was published in 2017 and she is currently working on her fourth book\, to be published in early 2023. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuail Ridge Books is offering a 15% discount on Superior. \n\nGo to https://www.quailridgebooks.com/book/9780807028421\nEnter “NCSU Event” in the comments field\nThe discount will not appear automatically\, but staff will email the buyer to let them know that it has been applied.\n\n\n×\nPresented by: Genetic Engineering and Society Center’s AgBioFEWS program\, Genetics and Genomics Initiative (GGI)\, CHASS Interdisciplinary Studies and International Programs\, COS Biological Sciences\, CALS Academic Programs\, and the Society for Risk Analysis. \nPartners: NC State University Libraries\, Africana Studies\, Women’s and Gender Studies\, COS Academic Affairs\, and the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity
