What might it mean to suggest that race is socially constructed? How does thinking of race in terms of social construction compare with the logic of biological determinism that we've begun to discuss? In scientific, medical, and other (e.g. legal) contexts, folks are often categorized on the basis of race. What do racial classification or categorization schema do? In particular, what scientific purpose(s) do they serve? Do forms of classification based on race serve beneficial ends? Harmful ends? Both? Neither? It depends? In what sense(s) are understandings of race significant in medical settings? Does attention to race in medical settings help or hinder research and care? How might attending to multiple intersecting variables (i.e. race/gender/class) inform particular STEM research projects and/or practical applications/interventions?
