Summary

A US natalist conference, promoting higher birth rates, is set to feature speakers advocating race science and eugenics at the University of Texas, Austin.

Organized by Kevin Dolan, the conference includes figures like Jordan Lasker, who promotes discredited race-IQ theories, and advocates of “liberal eugenics” like Jonathan Anomaly, who offers IQ screening for embryos.

Speakers also include figures from the far-right fitness scene and those associated with publications pushing racist pseudoscience.

Elon Musk, a natalism supporter, has amplified some of these views online. The event has drawn criticism for platforming these ideas.
