Dr Luke de Noronha: Borders and the Racist World Order (EISPS Global Politics Remix 2021: Decolonial, Black and Queer Perspectives)
Ours is the age of borders and walls. The government of mobility has become the central problem of the 21st century, as states develop new and terrifying ways to fix and manage unequal populations in space and in law. This lecture examines our global present through the lens of uneven human mobilities, engaging with several empirical examples that help problematise not migration and movement, but bordering and nativist closure.

Dr Jean Beaman: Race and Racism in Postcolonial France (EISPS Global Politics Remix 2021: Decolonial, Black and Queer Perspectives)
Based on past and current ethnographic research in the Parisian metropolitan region, Dr Beaman discussed how racial and ethnic minorities understand and respond to their racialization in a context in which race and ethnicity are not legitimate or acknowledged, and how a suspect citizenship is created. She discussed how racial and ethnic minorities are “citizen outsiders” as evident of France’s “racial project” (Omi and Winant 1994), which marks distinctions outside of explicit state-level categorization. Dr Beaman explored not only how race marks individuals outside of formal categories, but also how people respond to these distinctions in terms of a racism-related issue, here, police violence and brutality against racial and ethnic minorities.

Dr Lassana Harris: Race and the Brain (EISPS Global Politics Remix 2021: Decolonial, Black and Queer Perspectives)
Dr Harris presented psychological and neuroscience evidence for dehumanized perception—a failure to consider another person’s mind, and for racism—displaying a social bias based on perceived racial/ethnic groups. He explored how these phenomena impact legal decision-making, and their role in human rights abuses. Finally, he discussed strategies for leveraging dehumanized perception in legal proceedings to benefit the defense, and ways of mitigating the impact of racial bias in legal and policy decisions.

Eugenics, Karl Pearson, and the Legacy of Anglo-Saxon Nativism
Karl Pearson was a key developer and promoter of eugenics in Britain, 1900-1930. This included patronage of research and posts at University College London (UCL). In this film, ProfJoeCain examines the connections between Pearson, his view of eugenics, and his views about race. He concludes Pearson was a racist, nativist, supremacist for an imaginary Anglo-Saxon “stock”. This case certainly is about race and racism. It also is about more. ProfJoeCain raises questions about voice and attribution, as well as questions about academic entrepreneurship. This talk was limited to 30 minutes with originally presented to an academic audience, hence some assumptions made in the presentation.
