A paper co-authored by Donna Garcia, CSUSB professor of psychology, was cited in an article by Robert F. Shedinger, professor of Religion at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, “Is Methodological Naturalism Racist?”
Shedinger wrote, “Criticisms of methodological naturalism usually revolve around philosophical issues. I never even considered that methodological naturalism could possibly contribute to the perpetuation of systemic racism. That is, until I read a paper appearing in 2020 in the journal Social Psychology of Education titled “Why Are There So Few Ethnic Minorities in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology?” Co-authored by a biologist and psychologist at Tulane University along with a psychologist at California State University San Bernardino, the paper raises interesting questions about the role of religiosity in preventing underrepresented groups, especially African Americans, from becoming involved in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB).”
