A Different Kind of Dark Energy: Evidence for Placing Race and Gender in Physics
Abstract
I present the findings from my 2017 African American Studies thesis examining race, gender, and astrophysics. This work critically analyzes the culture and theory of physics and astronomy through the perspective of Black women, presents evidence for a sexist-racist physics, and offers guidelines for moving towards an anti-racist feminist physics.
