Feedback Survey
From the atomic bomb to the Tuskegee syphilis trials, modern science is tied to imperialism. We`ll discuss a people`s history of science in the past/present, then develop a vision for the future. What are the goals/practices of community-rooted science? How to fund it? How to make it accessible? Folks can bring issues from home & we`ll brainstorm what a community-science solution might look like. Participants will walk away with steps for how to build scientific research into their communities.
