Angela Saini joins us to discuss her most recent book, Superior: The Return of Race Science, exploring the murky history of race science and the ways in which it is being resurrected in the 21st century. Combining science, history and politics, she explores how race maps out biologically, the abuse of the idea of race, and how those on the far-right are attempting to repackage racism. This talk will be followed by a drinks reception, book sale and signing. All are welcome.
