Race, Representation & the UAP Mystery with Dr. Stephen C. Finley | RC 88
Description
Why is the UAP community lacking diversity? Race, representation, and the unexplored dimensions of the UAP conversation are our focus in today’s podcast. Our guest is Dr. Stephen C. Finley, Professor and Chair of African & African American Studies at Louisiana State University — a scholar whose work bridges religion, race, philosophy, and the paranormal. Why have Black voices historically been excluded from mainstream UFO, science, and space research — and while representation is growing, why does it still remain disproportionately low today?
How do centuries of exclusion from government programs and systemic gatekeeping in media still shape who gets seen, heard, and believed? And what might we discover if we dared to take African and African American spiritual cosmologies seriously in our search for non-human intelligences? This is not just about visibility. It’s about truth, power, and what it takes to rebuild a narrative that reflects all human experiences — not just a select few.
