“Eugenics is an integral aspect of our global scientific and political culture:” interview with Marius Turda

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Despite public condemnation after the defeat of Nazism, eugenic ideas continue to persist into the twenty-first century in different countries and contexts and with varying forms of intensity and support, as seen in events such as the covid-19 pandemic and the George Floyd case, discourse by contemporary far-right populist governments, and the 2024 US presidential election. This interview with Professor Marius Turda, a prominent scholar in the field of race, racism, and eugenics, presents his work and his itinerant exhibition entitled "We are not alone: legacies of eugenics," aimed at specialised and non-academic audiences alike, and offers a historically informed account of our eugenic past, present, and future.
