The Science of Racism with Keon West

Professor Keon West has long been interested in the gap between what people think they know about racism and what the science actually shows.

Alongside his academic work, he regularly appears at events like Cheltenham Science Festival, opening up conversations about bias, scientific literacy, and why facts matter even in the most emotionally charged topics.

In this episode, we talk about applying science to racism, the misconceptions that persist, and what happens when research meets real-world audiences.
