Las enfermedades adquiridas, aquellas que son prevenibles...

Los autores de este libro observan que, en los primeros años del siglo XX, en el imaginario de las elites, los jóvenes en la Ciudad de México eran considerados, salvo excepciones, dependientes, sin capacidad de decisión individual y política.

No one in the Washington State Patrol believed that Monica Alexander (née Hunter), an African American single mother, would be a state trooper for long. She proved...

Surely, God did not allow African Americans to experience oppression for over four hundred years just for us to dwell in an exclusive neighborhood, acquire material possessions, attain middle class status, or be a famous black first. African Americans are not in America to imitate our white brothers and sisters. Our situation is unique. We are insiders and outsiders, Americans and of African descent, free and unfree. We are a split people seeking...

In Race Otherwise: Forging a New Humanism for South Africa Zimitri Erasmus questions the notion that one can know 'race' with one's eyes, or through racial categories and or genetic ancestry tests. She moves between the intimate probing of racial identities as we experience them individually, and analysis of the global historical forces that have created these identities and woven them into our thinking about what it means to be 'human'. Starting...

STEM disciplines are believed to be founded on the idea of meritocracy; recognition earned by the value of the data, which is objective. Such disciplinary cultures resist concerns about implicit or structural biases, and yet, year after year, scientists observe persistent gender and racial inequalities in their labs, departments, and programs. In Equity in Science, Julie Posselt makes the case that understanding how field-specific cultures develop...

Esta obra es un fruto de la necesidad de reflexionar acerca de la metodología. Como señala el autor, hasta bien entrado el siglo XX, el término pasó de significar la reflexión lógica y epistemológica sobre el conocimiento y su producción sistémica, a la instrucción técnica en procedimientos específicos de investigación. Esta transformación ha provocado lagunas en la formación de los estudiantes de posgrado, quienes presentan dificultades...
