From a star theoretical physicist, a journey into the world of
particle physics and the cosmos -- and a call for a more just
practice of science. In The Disordered Cosmos, Dr. Chanda
Prescod-Weinstein shares her love for physics, from the Standard
Model of Particle Physics and what lies beyond it, to the physics
of melanin in skin, to the latest theories of dark matter -- all
with a new spin informed by history, politics, and the wisdom of
Star Trek. One of the leading physicists of her generation, Dr.
Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is also one of fewer than one hundred
Black American women to earn a PhD from a department of physics.
Her vision of the cosmos is vibrant, buoyantly non-traditional, and
grounded in Black feminist traditions. Prescod-Weinstein urges us
to recognize how science, like most fields, is rife with racism,
sexism, and other dehumanizing systems. She lays out a bold new
approach to science and society that begins with the belief that we
all have a fundamental right to know and love the night sky. The
Disordered Cosmos dreams into existence a world that allows
everyone to experience and understand the wonders of the universe.
