In this episode, I use a critical transdisciplinary approach to explore how the colonial history of Western Science impacts science practices today. Three theories, Black geographies, settler colonialism, and decoloniality are woven together to demonstrate how Western Science grew to what it is today. Botany, and specifically the history of quinine from the Cinchona bark, are used to exemplify the historical present.
In this episode, I give an overview of the research setting, which took place in an Inquiry to Action Group hosted by the New York Collective of Radical Educators (NYCoRE). I interviewed Dr. Natalia Ortiz, a long-time member of NYCoRE, to get the history of NYCoRE and ItAGs.
