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. The Disordered Cosmos dreams into existence a world that allows everyone to experience and understand the wonders of the universe.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 208mmItem Length: 136mmItem Width: 26mmItem Weight: 300gAuthor: Chanda Prescod-WeinsteinGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Social Sciences, Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
