Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein Wants You to Know Science Is For Everyone
Prescod-Weinstein, a theoretical cosmologist, talks to Shondaland about her new book, “The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey Into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred”
Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein’s debut popular science book, Jewish prayer, which reminds us that Black people aren’t dark matter but rather luminous matter, and stresses that spacetime isn’t straight or binary.
A professor of physics and astronomy at the University of New Hampshire, and a core faculty member in Women’s and Gender studies, Prescod-Weinstein has written an exquisite book that seamlessly connects seemingly disparate topics: physics, Black feminist thought, anti-colonial theory.
Here’s the thing about new books: They are the catalysts that inspire readers to try, do, and feel new things. “Black Girl Magic” is not just something that exists as a campaign or chant at rallies, but something to hold onto within ourselves and use to catapult over whatever obstacles come our way.
The books released this week give us so much Black girl magic, it’s hard to keep track. There is Jasmine Mans’
Black Girl, Call Home, a collection of poetry detailing her experiences as a queer Black woman and navigating her identity.
