Keon West on The Science of Racism

In a lively and engaging talk, Professor Keon West used data gathered during many years of quantitative scientific research to illustrate the many ways in which racism continues to take root in society - and discuss how best to tackle it. Chaired by UCL's Professor of Social Neuroscience, Lasana Harris, and introduced by the academic co-lead of our Black Europe series, Dr Hélène Neveu-Kringelbach (UCL Anthropology and SELCS), West's talk served as the pre-launch of his book The Science of Racism: Everything You Need to Know but Probably Don't—Yet, published by Macmillan imprint Picador and officially launched at Daunt Books in Marylebone the following day.

To purchase the book, see Pan Macmillan's website.

With thanks to Daunt Books for supporting the event through a pre-launch book sale.
