I recently spoke with Meghna Chakrabarti of WBUR’s Radio Boston about the Museum of Science exhibition, “RACE: Are We So Different?” and the issues it raises.
This interactive display is part of the traveling RACE exhibition.
(The exhibit was created by the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and has been traveling the country for the last two years). I was joined by the eminent biological anthropologist and past AAA president, Alan Goodman. An archive of the discussion is available here : You Sound Different—The Science Behind Race. There is also a fantastic synopsis of the conversation posted on The 2011 Harriet-Elliott Lecture Series Blog.
