Upcoming Events
Tuesday, December 1 @ 3 pm: An exploratory investigation of the experiences of Black immigrant women in undergraduate STEM.
Drs. Meseret Hailu and Brooke Coley will present their research on the politicized, racialized, and gendered dimensions of the presumably “objective” disciplines of STEM. Their 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. Their qualitative study included 40+ interviews with undergraduate engineering students at a large public university in the southwestern United States.
This seminar is part of SABER’s A call to action: Striving for racial justice in academic biology seminar series. Access the seminar at this Zoom link.
