Venue: via Zoom

Cost: £12

This session explains what is meant by scientific racism and how this is different from (and can overlap with) racism in science. I will highlight three ways in which the use of BMI embeds scientific racism. We will consider effective, collective anti-racist and liberatory responses we can enact as diet and nutrition professionals/food justice organisers.
