"...her article".Originally Posted by James Brown
p.s. This is not technically true. She footnotes other works from people researching racism in the geosciences. We don't need to get into it, unless you want to, I am sure you will find fault with her sources if we dig into them. But she does indeed have supporting justification cited in her article.

Er, ah, there are 19 co-authors of the article, so it's not her article, it's their article!. The author referred to in this thread is the correspondence author and not THE author. As noted in the article, "Here WE present a twenty-point anti-racism plan that organizations can implement to build an inclusive, equitable and accessible geoscience community. Enacting it will combat racism, discrimination, and the harassment of all members." (Emphasis added).
And you're are correct, the article is appropriately referenced. And all of us on the forum likely do not have the qualifications to critique the references, let alone the article itself.
The entire thrust of the article is to provide an ACTION PLAN on preventing racism from impacting this particular field and, as such, it is NOT an inclusive opinion piece on racism itself...
