Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

It’s optics. The emperor’s new clothes.
When equity is filtered through a system designed to maintain hierarchy, it can only reproduce the status quo dressed up in the language of justice and good.
And the more convincing the costume, the harder it becomes to name what hasn’t actually changed.

I completely agree. Equity, leadership, and inclusion programs often present the illusion of change, but in reality, they function as a form of institutional self-preservation.
They give the appearance of progress while leaving underlying power structures untouched.

Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system, says Dolors Armenteras
