Science is a Drag (Previously funded 2022)
Science is a Drag is working towards a just world where all barriers to participation and retention in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine (STEMM)
In today’s world, if we aren’t actively doing the internal and external work to decolonize and dismantle the unjust systems of inequality that exist here on earth, we are contributing to the upholding of this ongoing oppression.
White supremacy, amongst other systems of injustice, is the reality we have been born into and it is time we unlearn, relearn and rebuild a world that is safe and equitable for all.
How can we bring our whole selves — with all the intersections of our identities and experiences to the work of collective liberation?

“The body is where our instincts reside and where we fight, flee, or freeze, and it endures the trauma inflicted by the ills that plague society. In this groundbreaking work, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage caused by racism in America from the perspective of body-centered psychology.
