P116 - Quantum Mechanics: Contributions of Indigenous Peoples
Most textbooks on physics, written by the ruling Eurocentric white male class, have completely ignored the fundamental contributions of indigenous peoples toward our understanding of quantum mechanics. This course seeks to rectify past wrongs by focusing on the achievements in quantum mechanics of peoples such as the Aleutian Indians, the Australian Aborigines, and Karen tribes of Thailand. Extra credit and reduced homework loads are available to members of oppressed groups.
P221 - White Male Oppression in Nuclear Physics
For centuries, white males have used the rhetoric and the tools of physics - especially nuclear physics - to suppress other classes. Bigoted labeling of subatomic particles, such as "negative" for the charge of the electron or "uncharmed" for some quarks, implies that some particles are better than others, which in turn is used to strengthen repressive norms of racial and gender inequality. Students will explore more holistic approaches to physics and learn how to turn physics into a New Age tool of class struggle to overthrow oppression.
P269 - Holding the Universe Together: The Crucial Role of Matter of Color
For decades, a dirty little secret of the scientific establishment has been crucial importance of matter of color - formerly called by the racial epithet, "dark matter." Though white establishment scientists have tried every avenue to find another explanation, they have been unable to escape the truth: matter of color is what holds the whole universe together, accounting for a majority of the gravitational attraction of the universe. Matter of color can no longer be swept under the rugs of the elite. It can no longer be swept into the dust bin of scientific history or trampled under the feet of oppressors. Matter of color is on the rise, and is much more important than "ordinary matter" - more properly termed "honkey matter." Students in this course will develop pride in the role of matter of color and understand the racist politics that kept it suppressed from public knowledge for so long. Students will also stage awareness rallies, marches, and protests to enhance public awareness of matter of color.
