In this course, we will explore the historical and socio-political context of STEM and grapple with how STEM can be relevant to education justice and liberation. We will begin our scholarly journey at the systemic level, and explore future possibilities for our field in terms of justice. Through this process, we will consider how our own practice can be transformed and how we can collectively shape the STEM field and conversations within it. We will engage with critical theories to build our analysis of STEM in a broader context of education and society. Our inquiry will be framed by principles of justice that work against status quo logics and toward collective liberation. We will follow our questions to discern ways that STEM is complicit in systemic injustices, and explore possibilities for more just STEM futures.
