72.019 - Disrupting Intersecting Systems of Oppression in Science Education

Mon, May 1, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Grand Hyatt San Antonio, Floor: Second Floor, Lone Star Ballroom Salon C

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Although science concepts and standards are presented as objective, they are embedded in a male-centered Eurocentric ontology and axiology, which marginalizes minoritized youth, and also reproduces and perpetuates societal inequities. We argue that understanding these intersecting systems of oppression (and re/imagining new possibilities for transformative science education) requires multiple theoretical perspectives. This symposium highlights the myriad of ways that injustice manifests in science education while also demonstrating the different ways we attend to these intersecting systems of oppression across unique contexts.
