Syllabus help: Looking for an article about eugenics history that can help introduce students (especially upper level undergrads) to the history of eugenics in the 19th-20th c in the US.

It’s for a class where students’ main competencies are mostly not humanities/social sciences.

Suggestions?

💉Immune
“Our formalities, aura, etc don’t let bias affect us like others”
💔Doomed
“we’re left to struggle and labeled biased anyways, so let’s embrace it: our silo objectivity”
🪪Entitled
“no opinion means no identity, so premature clarity is better than none”
