Transdisciplinary Science

Identifies and employs the frameworks and epistemology of Du Bois and other epistemic pluralists to better understand the role of race and inequality in socio-ecological systems.

Throughout his life, W.E.B. Du Bois actively engaged the scientific racism infecting natural sciences and popular thought. We draw on archival research and Du Bois’ own scholarship to investigate his general approach to interdisciplinarity in efforts to curb the racism of his time through empiricism.
