...society through the critical lens of race. Given the central role that race has played and continues to play in the histories of Americans in general and ethnic minorities in particular, it is essential that the study of race not be limited to the scope of a black-white paradigm. Expanding the study of race to include the experiences of other racialized minorities, namely Asian-Americans, Latino-Americans and Native-Americans, exposes the paradigm as an incomplete model. Including the study of these particular groups, however, does not exclude the examination of American peoples of European descent. We challenge...
...Dershowitz argues that "the paradigm of the scientific method...is not the only criteria [sic] for evaluating academic undertakings." He makes the interesting observation that "[i]f Dr. Mack had taught at the Divinity School, it is unlikely that any investigation would be tolerated, since divinity schools are not governed by the laws of science."

...aliens exist as it is that God exists. The former is, however, a scientifically testable hypothesis (at least in theory); whereas the latter--for at least most theologians--is not. It is a matter of "faith," not proof, and faith is not subject to the scientific method. But the paradigm of the scientific method--testable propositions subjected to double-blind and replicable experimentation--is not the only criteria for evaluating academic undertakings. This is certainly true in the formative, exploratory phases in the development of an idea. If Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx or Martin Buber had been required to satisfy...
...first step in setting about this paradigm shift is to define the product. With coffeemakers, the product is a warm, tasty beverage. With microwave ovens, the product is a warm, tasty meal. With computers, the product is warm, tasty information...
