Oliver Rollins is an Assistant Professor of American Ethnic Studies at the University of Washington. He uses qualitative research methods to explore how practices of race, racism, and other systemic inequities impact the making and use of neuroscientific technologies and knowledges. Rollins’s book, Conviction: The Making and Unmaking of The Violent Brain (Stanford University Press, 2021), traces the development and use of neuroimaging research on antisocial behaviors, with special attention to the social and legal limits of this controversial brain model when dealing with aspects of social difference, power, and inequality. Currently, he is working on two new projects. One examines the neuroscience of implicit bias to illustrate the bioethical challenges and promises of “visualizing” racial identity and social bias as neurobiological processes. His other project focuses on the relationship between social justice and science through an analysis of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in the neurosciences. Here, Rollins seeks to develop new policy interventions that will help actualize the antiracist potentials for contemporary neuroscientific practices. Rollins received his Ph.D. in Sociology from UCSF.
