For the first time on this show, I don't have a student spotlight for you. Instead, I've asked a professor to join me: Dr. Jeremy Teissere. As the head of Muhlenberg College's Neuroscience department, he has many thoughts on how his discipline fits into the current anti-racism conversation spurred by the BLM movement. This episode delves into how our sensation and perception relates to White supremacy as well as how we can change social beliefs. These topics are intimately related to the way we collect data, so we also get into the power in subjecthood within scientific literature. Recording this felt like I was in his class, Mind & Brain, all over again. This interview aired on my radio show on June 15, 2020.
