This project aims to show that there are no races, only racialised groups. Race was once thought to be biologically real, a position which is increasingly rejected by specialists. Now race is commonly believed to be a social construct, which is often taken to mean that races are real social groups. This project aims to demonstrate that when race is defined socially it loses its conceptual and historical specificity, and that racial classification should be abandoned altogether. An expected outcome of the project is a scholarly and public shift away from racial classification. This project develops and defends the category of the racialised group as an alternative to one of history’s most misleading and dangerous ideas.

这个项目旨在表明，没有种族，只有种族化的群体。种族曾一度被认为是生物学上的真实的，但这一观点越来越被专家们所拒绝。现在种族被普遍认为是一种社会建构，这通常意味着种族是真实的社会群体。该项目旨在表明，当种族在社会上被定义时，它失去了其概念和历史的特殊性，种族分类应该完全放弃。该项目的一个预期成果是学术和公众从种族分类转向。这个项目发展和捍卫种族化群体的类别，作为历史上最具误导性和危险的想法之一的替代方案。
