In this ARC Interview: "What’s Real About Race?" we speak with Dr. Phila Msimang, a philosopher at Stellenbosch University whose research critically assesses the uses and abuses of group descriptors like race and ethnicity in the sciences, and Dr. Tessa Moll, an anthropologist whose work explores medicine, reproduction, and the politics of health in South Africa. Using their collaborative infographic on the shifting history of racial classification, we unpack how race has been invented, imposed, and contested over centuries, and why, though socially constructed, it continues to have very real effects in our lives today.The infographic: https://figshare.com/articles/figure/An_abridged_timeline_of_shifting_racial_classification_in_South_Africa_1652-present/29100497?file=55053449ARC Angel: http://patreon.com/Arc_orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/arcdocs.orgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/arc_docs/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@arcdocs.org Hosted on Acast.
