I gave a talk on #franzBoas a couple weeks ago - the hegemony-smashing #antiracist founder of American #anthropology, who swam upstream during the leadup to WW2 (and got pushed out of his job at #ColumbiaUniversity for it - good job Columbia!).
So close to being ready to share it online! Stay tuned!
I gave a talk on campus this week on Franz Boas. (I'll share it here when the recording's ready.) It was moving to see how people resonated. In a time of Nazis, eugenics and lynchings, Boas was vocally antiracist, worked with POC, got pushed out of his job for his views (nice going Columbia U!) and became the founder of American #anthropology.
People were thirsty for this. We're thirsty for these stories. We aren't alone. Courage is possible and effective. Become a problem.
Kurz und gut: Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Biografie und Bild einer wilden Zeit – alles in Einem. Lesen!
