Dr. Victoria Massie is a professor of anthropology at Rice University. This fall, she’s introducing students to a new course that explores concepts and theories related to Black women’s lived experiences and how those narratives help shape discussions around race and gender. Interestingly enough, Dr. Massie’s late grandfather, Dr. Samuel Massie, was a renowned chemist who worked as a technician on The Manhattan Project during World War II. He was also the first African-American professor at the United States Naval Academy in 1966. Did his work on one of the most highly classified secured programs in U.S. history help influence her thoughts and perspective as an anthropologist? And is she still grappling with her grandfather’s legacy of having developed atomic weapons of mass destruction? I SEE U host Eddie Robinson speaks unguarded with scientist/writer, Dr. Victoria Massie about her new course at Rice and how these studies will help transform our future and inspire a new way of thinking.
