2014 Race & Pedagogy Conference Keynote & Spotlight Speakers: A Resource Guide: Joseph Graves

Includes the essay: The misuse of life history theory: J.P. Rushton and the pseudoscience of racial hierarchy / Joseph L. Graves, Jr

In this groundbreaking book, Joseph Graves traces the development of biological thought about human genetic diversity. Graves argues that racism has persisted in our society because adequate scientific reasoning has not entered into the equation. He champions the scientific method and explains how we may properly ask scientific questions about the nature of population differentiation and how (if at all) we may correlate that diversity to observed human behavior. He also cautions us to think critically about scientific findings that have historically been misused in controversies over racial differences in intelligence heritability, criminal behavior, disease predisposition, and other traits.

Includes the essay Between a rock and a hard place: teaching the biology of human variation and the social construction of race / Joseph L. Graves Jr.
