The essays cover three main areas: the widely-held ideology that science and mathematics are “value-free,” which promotes pedagogies of colorblindness in the classroom as well as an avoidance of discussions around using mathematics and science to promote social justice; how male and female students of color experience the intersection of racist and sexist structures that lead to general underrepresentation and marginalization; and recognizing that although there are no quick fixes, there exists evidence-based research suggesting concrete ways of doing a better job of including individuals of color in STEM. As a whole this volume will allow practitioners, teachers, students, faculty, and professionals to reimagine STEM across a variety of educational paradigms, perspectives, and disciplines, which is critical in finding solutions that broaden the participation of historically underrepresented groups within the STEM disciplines. ","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54159427830104,"sku":null,"price":132.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781978805682.jpg?v=1777725047","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/diversifying-stem-multidisciplinary-perspectives-on-race-and-gender-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
