It’s about the idea of ‘Western civilisation’ — 10 ideas, in fact — and how they shape our view of the world and each other in extremely unhelpful ways. I’ll be uncovering the racist thinking behind our notions of’ science’, ‘education’, and ‘nation’, the biases behind ‘justice’ and ‘individuality’, questioning the reality of ‘democracy’, along critiquing the capitalism that shapes our ideas about ‘time’, ‘death’, and ‘art’. I’ll also be looking to non-western worldviews and philosophies that, I think, do the job much better. You can buy the book here, or wherever you like to buy books. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/cdb1eff6-95ae-4420-a00c-5ab52f8d26ef/writer.png Home Writer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/a050acbb-9f7c-4885-80ac-67834f53022f/historian.png Home Historian https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/b7049a36-bb43-4c0e-89bb-468949d7ef22/comedian.png Home Comedian https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/a72fee9b-f170-4f2b-941e-771683362184/curator.png Home Curator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1719667914535-QCMQ8OJRIKD0XDPN9COG/speaker.jpg Home Speaker https://www.subhadradas.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-06-26 https://www.subhadradas.com/about daily 0.75 2024-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/73139b49-bd15-419e-90f9-58bec05ef7cc/AR_UNCIVILISED_4.jpg About - Historian, writer, broadcaster, comedian, curator I’m a researcher and storyteller who looks at the relationship between science and society. I specialise in the history and philosophy of science, particularly the history of scientific racism and eugenics, and what those histories mean for our lives today. For nine years, I was Curator of the Science Collections at University College London, where I was also Researcher in Critical Eugenics at the Sarah Parker Remond Centre for the Study of Racism and Racialisation. I’ve written and presented podcasts, curated museum exhibitions, done stand-up comedy and have appeared on radio and tv. https://www.subhadradas.com/writer daily 0.75 2024-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/cdc526f8-175f-4268-8f70-58f71977c1b7/UNCIVILISED+JACKET.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Writer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Writer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Writer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/65474fa9-c622-437d-b9cf-bf308ec8e05c/5+in+the+eye.jpeg Writer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/3bd34426-48b5-46e6-8056-23de7105fe38/iflscience.jpg Writer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/287b1393-ca58-42c3-8739-444e1c56beb1/Demythifying.png Writer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/0601c5bf-6ee2-4d2f-a648-0b937bd40cb3/Screenshot+2024-06-28+at+17.24.53.jpg Writer https://www.subhadradas.com/historian-1 daily 0.75 2024-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1719668391771-08SAGAYIYU4W4T7JT8SM/b%252Bm.jpg Historian Bricks + Mortals: a history of eugenics told through buildings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1719668654911-134TQEJP1514GVU0N963/ucl-podcast-livingwitheugenics.jpg Historian Living With Eugenics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1719668725804-DVDLV0LNUZHRT8IX91EX/what_does_eugenics_mean_to_us_-_website_image_800x500.jpg Historian What Does Eugenics Mean To Us? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1719574695233-DS5W38MP5U6914BUYWXF/Screenshot%2B2024-06-28%2Bat%2B17.06.05.jpg Historian BBC 4 - Eugenics: Science's Greatest Scandal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1719572912525-1MWDND5IXW1HQH6KEEC0/C4%252B1.jpg Historian Channel 4 News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1719572878024-ZQSHKYDHLUY3N27VM8XX/20211102_103003_Original.jpg Historian ITV DNA Journey: Torvill & Dean https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1646835321816-UMC9RHOLZ98BXYXYX26K/boring+talks.jpeg Historian BBC Radio 4: The Boring Talks No. 25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1646835349805-2LI3AZFVQDS4K4RGTB2C/parthenon-sculpture-centaur-and-lapith-e1616456323788.jpeg Historian 100 Histories of 100 Worlds in 1 Object https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1719574230779-Y0GMM06BTDSHQHRQ6GB8/Screenshot%2B2024-06-28%2Bat%2B16.57.49.jpg Historian The Allusionist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1646835293217-YOJNSOEMMR8V7WMFPX3Z/instant+genius.png Historian BBC Science Focus Podcast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1719574494612-NCP4V3QSDHUCHHI8GYXZ/Screenshot%2B2024-06-28%2Bat%2B17.03.21.jpg Historian Channel 4 - Britain's Human Zoos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cba89b634b84789913a60/1719669578262-DO647JY62ZKMYIDNVMA4/Screenshot%2B2024-06-29%2Bat%2B19.27.28.jpg Historian Edy Hurst's Podcast Version of...
