The Fallacies of Racism: How perceptions of racism reproduce inequality during college and beyond

In this guest lecture, Dr. Sims introduces her fallacies framework, highlights three of the fallacies which are often found in higher education, and explains how the thinking which underlays them is rooted in what scholars call an “epistemology of ignorance.” She concludes by describing the types of personal, peer group, and university-level efforts that are needed to reject fallacies and promote critical thinking during college and beyond.
