Jim Wynter Porter

Jim Porter studies historical conceptualizations of “intelligence” as an allegedly natural human difference: how such ideas have evolved over time, how they have been justified with scientific argumentation, and how they have been adapted for educational policy. He earned his PhD in history from Michigan State University in 2017.
