Briefings

A recent sociology position paper argues that systemic racism is the default explanation for racial disparities rather than an open question requiring further investigation. This view, according to author Ilana Redstone, has undermined the discipline and made it professionally costly to challenge the concept. The evidence indicates this stance reflects broader assumptions about race origins that have hindered critical inquiry. The article does not provide specific data on the number of institutions adopting this view or the exact date the paper was released, only the publication timestamp of 2026-10-06.
