A-JEDI Resources

The Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is committed to eradicating racism in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and in academia broadly. As WID is part of those systems, we have a responsibility to take action, make change, educate ourselves, confront racism, and build a more anti-racist organization.

To that end, this page provides links to resources and collections to help WIDites to begin or continue anti-racist work in the lab, in the classroom, in mentorship, in recruiting and hiring, and in every day work in the academy.

Violence and economic activity: evidence from African American patents, 1870–1940 (Cook, 2014)

d1scit_admin2020-08-10T13:53:11-05:00

This paper uses the rise in mass violence between 1870 and 1940 as an historical experiment for determining the impact of ethnic and political violence on economic activity, namely patenting. The findings imply that ethnic and political conflict may affect the level, direction, and quality of invention and economic growth over time.
