Malmo University Research Seminar: Critical Theory and Science Faculty Beliefs
In this seminar, we welcome Dr. Tatiane Russo-Tait to discuss her research on equity and justice in postsecondary STEM education. Color-evasive racial ideology informs STEM instructors’ equity beliefs in ways that constrain their ability to (1) support students from racially minoritized backgrounds, (2) disrupt deficit narratives, and (3) recognize their responsibility in ameliorating racial injustice in their classroom and other spheres of influence. Critical race consciousness development is key for instructors to individually and collectively advance racial justice in STEM learning environments.
