“An exploratory investigation of the experiences of Black immigrant women in undergraduate STEM”

December 1st, 2020 at 3 pm EDT 

Speakers: Meseret Hailu (top) & Brooke Coley (bottom), Arizona State University

The research presented in this seminar investigates the politicized, racialized, and gendered dimensions of the presumably “objective” disciplines of STEM. This work uses critical discourse analysis and case studies to better understand how Black immigrant women use their cultural epistemologies to attain undergraduate degrees in engineering. The research presented will use a qualitative approach, involving 40 interviews with undergraduate engineering students of a large public university in the southwestern United States.

You’ll get the chance to learn about how our different projects address some of the equity and inclusion challenges students commonly face in introductory STEM courses and what it takes from you to actually run these experiments in your courses. There will also be time for you to ask questions directly of the project leads. You can attend as few or as many of the project sessions as you are interested in.
