Episode 3: Eugenics and the Master Planners for Education in California during the Progressive Era, 1885 – 1920.

In this episode, we speak to how racist politicians hijacked emergent science and then used that information to back social programs aimed at using a person’s genetics against them through eugenics. Specifically, we will discuss how eugenics was not only accepted, but how this movement shaped laws and education policy in California.

Hosts: Ryan Henderson, Christian Johnson, and Hector Solorzano
