STS STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF BLACK LIVES MATTER
The Science, Technology, and Society (STS) Program at the University of Michigan stands with the victims of police brutality and white supremacy. We condemn the violence perpetrated against George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others and support the Black Lives Matter movement and its allies in the effort to dismantle the structures that have enabled such violence against Black, Native, and Latinx people for centuries. Part of that fight means reckoning with the roles played by science, technology, and medicine, highlighting the legacies of eugenics, scientific racism, healthcare biases, and environmental injustice, among other abuses, in exposing members of marginalized groups to harm. We commit to antiracism, and support teaching and scholarship that promotes equality and social justice.
