A science free of prejudice and bigotry would be one that recognizes these realities and works actively to minimize them. It would be a scientific community where diversity of background, perspective, identity and lived experience is valued and fostered. Such a community would strive for greater inclusivity in terms of who gets to participate in scientific research (for example, by supporting historically marginalized groups), what topics are considered worth studying (for example, by investigating issues related to social justice), what methods are considered valid (for example, by acknowledging indigenous ways of knowing) and how results are communicated (for example, by using language that doesn't reinforce harmful stereotypes).
