manpreet Tuteehub forum best answer Best Answer 2 years ago

I'm a new lecturer">lecturer. Part of my course (one lecture) teaches the origins of our scientific understanding of the solar system. I talk about the ancient Greeks, the preservation of their work by eastern scholars, the renaissance, Copernicus, Kepler, De Brahe, Galileo, Newton... etc. Much like how I was taught, and also following the course text (that I inherited).

In some student feedback I have been accused of giving the impression that everything was discovered or worked out by white european men. It's made me feel very lazy. I want to improve and avoid giving this impression. But firstly, how should I respond?
