Are you eager to learn about the “relationship between computation, colonialism, and enslavement; the afterlife of the three-fifths clause, or how math gets racialized and race gets quantified; the invention of quantitative expertise in public policy; or how racialized populations deployed quantitative methods and arguments in their struggles for social justice?”

Or perhaps you’d like to “draw upon MIT’s significant digital mapping and data collections to offer students project-based instruction exploring how computational and quantitative expertise informs, sustains, and legitimizes racial, gender, and other social injustices?”

Then come join fellow social justice warriors from MIT’s School of Humanities, Arts, and Socialist Scientism (SHASS) on October 21st from 1-2PM in room 16-628 to help plan ways to spread the Woke Mind Virus into MIT’s STEM curricula.

The Social History of Math is just one of the many initiatives being kicked off by a flood of money pouring into the SHASS Human Insight Collaborative. As the colonization of MIT’s Schools of Science and Engineering accelerates by innumerate humanities professors determined to make themselves appear relevant, opportunities to weaponize narratives of injustice and victimhood abound.

Laying out the welcome mat for this invasion is none other than Dean of Engineering Anantha Chandrakasan, who has never seen a woke initiative he didn’t like. Drop him a note at anantha@mit.edu and let him know what you think.
