Evil Scientists - Nonfiction Edition
A harrowing examination of the times when science abandoned ethics in the name of progress. These books document the exploitation of vulnerable bodies, exposing the systemic racism, sexism, ableism, and unchecked power that have historically hidden behind the white coat. These are the true stories of the "evil scientists" who operated not in gothic castles, but in government and university settings getting paid to make the rich richer.
brain meets law: the good (?), the bad, & the ugly
the application of the legal system to psychology has led to internalized and externalized shame and the use of correctional facilities to "treat" individuals with severe mental illness. these books explore this history, the stigma that it has created, and talk about what we can do about it.
