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. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Part I: The Structural Dynamics of STEM\u003cbr\u003e Part II: The Impact of Race and Gender on Scholars of Color in STEM\u003cbr\u003e Part III: The Way Forward for Students, Faculty, and Institutions: Strategies for STEM Success\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Notes on Contributors\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52638343758104,"sku":"9781978805682","price":91.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/diversifying-stem-multidisciplinary-perspectives-on-race-and-gender-hardback-9781978805682","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
