Write a summary on Katherine McKittrick’s essay, “Dear Science”.
“The reinvention becomes an invention-appreciation of our relational lives, I suppose, which is especially urgent given that we continue to collectively struggle against racial violence, premature death, and ecocide. To be black is to recognize and enervate the fictive perimeters of you, Science, and notice that the enclosures of biological determinism and the potentials of opacity, together, provide the conditions to concoct a different story altogether. There is more to you than I know.”
Develop a discussion focused on how your conversation text (be it a book, photo, program episode, etc.) for the semester addresses the “fictive perimeters of science.” Specifically, provide 3 examples of how your text presents alternative and more humanistic approaches to scientific inquiry – including how it responds to ideas fostering biological determinism.
