In this session Professor Keon West discussed his book, The Science of Racism, with Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Partner Maria Patsalos.
The book uses scientific research to reveal the realities of racism in society. Despite more than half of people believing racism does not exist, the book presents clear data showing its impact, such as Black people being disproportionately targeted by police, facing bias in online sales, and experiencing discrimination in job applications.
As a social psychologist and Visiting Professor at LSE, Keon’s approach is factual and rigorous, aiming to move beyond anecdote and rhetoric to expose uncomfortable truths about racism, while remaining engaging and accessible.
