2020 Choice​ Outstanding Academic Title Research frequently
neglects the important ways that race and gender intersect within
the complex structural dynamics of STEM. Diversifying
STEMÂ fills this void, bringing together a wide array of
perspectives and the voices of a number of multidisciplinary
scholars. 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.Â
