Frameworks for STEM Equity in a Time of Polycrisis: Navigating Tensions in Theory, Practice, and Policy

Fri, April 10, 3:45 to 5:15pm PDT (3:45 to 5:15pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 301B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium presents findings from five projects committed to conceptualizing equity and rightful presence in the sciences, with participants ranging from post-secondary geoscientists to networks of formal and informal educators. We address issues of the dominance of white and Western conceptions of science as well as the prevalence of white, male, middle-class, neurotypical scientists, examining ways construction of the field affects diverse youth, teachers, and post-secondary learners. Our findings present a variety of ways that participants can question, examine, critique, hybridize, or reimagine disciplinary practices in interdisciplinary ways that address different facets of our current socioenvironmental polycrisis.
