Self Guided Learning Article by Zoé Samudzi

This article by Zoé Samudzi has some good tips on self directed learning at home that I think is interesting and valuable in these uncertain times. Although the article is a guide to educating yourself without college, I think that a lot of her points are valid and useful for both college and non-college students learning at home in the time of COVID. Zoé Samudzi is co-author, with William Anderson, of the book As Black As Resistance and she is a PhD student at UCSF German colonialism, the Herero and Nama genocide and its afterlife, and science’s role in producing indigenous/Black/African identity. I really like her work and if you’re into any of that I suggest checking it out.

Decolonizing Reading List by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

This article by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein contains an extensive reading relating to decolonial though regarding science and technology. Once I work through some of these pieces I will probably write another blog post, but I want this list to be available to those who are interested. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is a theoretical physicist and assistant professor at University of New Hampshire, as well as a core faculty member in women’s studies. She does a lot of interesting writing regarding science, intersectionality, and decolonization. If that interests you follow her on twitter or check out her website.

First Post!

This is my first post on this website. This site is meant to aggregate my science into one place and I intend to add resources that will be helpful to my students as well. If you’re interested in the work that I’m doing, this will be the place to check it out. I will be adding more to it as things come along. I will also probably post miscellaneous things I find interesting here. Hope it’s helpful!
