london - A geography professor argues that the study of geology promotes racism and colonial practices, leading to climate change.

A geography professor has written a book in which she argues that activities such as mining for gold, iron, and other metals are inherently racist and contribute to environmental degradation. She refers to these activities as a 'geo-trauma' and criticizes the exploitation of land and natural resources. The study of prehistoric life through fossils is also implicated in perpetuating racism, as it allegedly promotes materialism and capitalism, ultimately leading to climate change. The professor claims that people of color have a more intimate connection with the earth compared to white people.

The professor is said to be part of the decolonization movement in British universities, which aims to challenge white supremacy in academia. This movement, which initially started in social sciences and humanities, has now extended to STEM fields. The Critical Race Theory is cited as a framework that exposes how Western history, institutions, and laws are rooted in racism. Critics, however, view decolonization efforts and woke ideologies as anti-scientific, arguing that land exploitation transcends racial boundaries and has existed throughout human history.

According to John Armstrong, a mathematician at King's College London, many university departments are resisting the pressure to decolonize their curricula, fearing a decline in academic standards. Activists advocating for decolonization and equality, diversity, and inclusion initiatives continue to push for changes in academic programs.
