The grant explores the impact of titanium white paint — a Norwegian invention — on a variety of factors, including social views of race.
That description of the project, which went viral and has been re-shared by other outlets, is an imprecise description of the project. However, it is not entirely without merit.to lead investigator Halland, the project"is not about racist attitudes today. But rather the historical context."
It is clear, however, from both post-doctoral job descriptions and Halland's previous research on the topic that white paint and"socially toxic" views are plausibly linked.
Because NorWhite is a real research grant funded by the government of Norway that, in part, investigates how white paint has contributed to social views of"whiteness," but also because the project is not literally asking if white paint itself is racist, Snopes rates this claim"Mostly True."2 Fellowships, NorWhite, University of Bergen. https://arthist.net/archive/38204.
