Woke, White, Female Professor: Astrophysics is ‘White Supremacist’ with ‘Violent’ Names for Cosmos
"So says astrophysics professor Natalie Gosnell who is trying to make a name for herself by claiming that space is racist.
In an interview with the college newspaper she claimed she has struggled to overcome a division between art and science that is rooted in ‘systemic racism.’
Her work aims ‘to cross typical disciplinary boundaries to create art-science pieces that re-inscribe outer space as feminist space,’ she said on her website.
‘Both artists and scientists are just observing things about the world, interpreting those observations, and then sharing their interpretation,’ Gosnell told Colorado College News.
‘As an astrophysicist, I am a product of institutions steeped in systemic racism and white supremacy,’ she said.
She also claimed that the field is “hypermasculine” and metaphors used to describe space are often “very violent.”
She pointed to a recent paper that called a star a “bad boy” as an example."
