Rice University Offers ‘Afrochemistry’ Class To Address ‘Inequities In Chemistry’

Chemistry is absolutes, not racist; it’s a science where things are absolutes… How alter a science based on absolutes? Chemistry, being a hard science, does not care about skin color. You can either do the Chemistry thing, or end up with burns from 10 mole HCL.

Rice University, a prestigious academic institution, is currently offering a course on “Afrochemistry” that seeks to address “inequities in chemistry and chemical education.”

According to an online course schedule and catalog, this chemistry class has no final exam and goes from Jan. 8 to April 19, 2024.

“Students will apply chemical tools and analysis to understand Black life in the U.S. and students will implement African American sensibilities to analyze chemistry,” a course description from the catalog noted. “Diverse historical and contemporary scientists, intellectuals, and chemical discoveries will inform personal reflections and proposals for addressing inequities in chemistry and chemical education. This course will be accessible to students from a variety of backgrounds including STEM and non-STEM disciplines. No prior knowledge of chemistry or African American studies is required for engagement in this course.”
