We are the ORT-project, or Origins of Racializing Thought, a four-year philosophical research project at the University of Jyväskylä, funded by the Kone Foundation. We are glad you found your way to our homepage!

For those of you who read Finnish, Malin Grahn-Wilder and Martina Reuter recently published an article “Rodullistaminen länsimaisen filosofian historiassa” (Racialization in the History of Western Philosophy) in the Kone Foundation’s Kaivolla-blog. You can find the article here:
