Sebastián Gíl-Riaño is Assistant Professor of History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania. His book in progress, The Remnants of Race: Anti-Racist Science and Economic Development in the Global South offers a multi-sited and multi-lingual narrative of how scientists from Latin America, Australasia, Europe and North America dismantled biological conceptions of "race," and in the process paved the way for an intensification of modernization projects in the Global South during the Cold War.
