This compilation of empirical studies interrogates the global
high-speed train of STEM education, particularly as a promise of
social, economic, and political enfranchisement for marginalized
communities. In this book, scholars of race, education, and
learning offer a range of analyses from which to consider the
"who", "what", and "toward ends" of STEM education. Together with
scholarly commentaries, the studies frame STEM learning as a
personal and political enterprise worthy of closer examination in
the lives of children, the work of adults, and the making of
nations. Thus, the studies vary in scope and scale, but coalesce in
surfacing the ideologies and values underlying the rapid ingestion
of STEM in schools and communities as a "social good for all".
Readers will journey through a Latinx student's reflections on
social justice mathematics, African American primary school
students studying water and justice, Indigenous families engaged in
storytelling with robotics, college STEM mentors' work with youth,
an online portal created for youth in Singapore to envision a
STEM-infused future; and finally, frameworks for teaching and
research that engage marginalized children's histories, cultural
practices and sensemaking. The socio-political grounding and
visioning of these works makes this a must-read for researchers,
teachers, teacher educators and policy makers in STEM. The chapters
in this book were originally published in a special issue of the
journal, Cognition and Instruction.
