Listen "Dr. Kamau Rashid: Science & Oppression & The Myth Of Neutrality In Western Scientific Thought"

Episode Synopsis

In this interview, Dr. Rashid discusses Carruthers’ critique of modern science as a system rooted in oppression, African ways of knowing, and how these epistemologies challenge Western definitions of “valid” knowledge. We explore parallels between historical exploitation and today’s uses of data, AI, and biotechnology, whether oppressed people should reform or replace Western science, and how African-centered education can avoid repeating Eurocentric traps.
