DESCRIPTION:Oliver Rollins\, PhD\, Assistant Professor of Sociology\, Unive
 rsity of Louisville\n\n \n\nWhile race\, and especially its mistaken inter
 pretation as a biological reality\, has played a key role in the productio
 n of biological understandings of violence\, recent research on violence u
 sing neuroimaging technologies reveals a conspicuous absence of race. Desp
 ite these efforts to move away from race\, today’s neuroscience of viole
 nce is (still) haunted by what I call the “taboo of race.” In this tal
 k\, I argue that the function of the taboo of race\, as a “color-blind
 ” reading of racial difference\, has prevented these neuroscientists fro
 m accurately capturing the dynamic effects of racism\, and especially how 
 the social effects of racial discrimination help demarcate which behaviors
  and persons are recognized and treated as criminal or antisocial. As a re
 sult\, the taboo of race can unintentionally nourish illogical links among
  race\, biology\, and crime\, and help bolster already problematic surveil
 lance and law enforcement tactics against racially marginalized communitie
 s through the guise of public health and safety\n\n \n\nRollins\, Oliver.
