TLL 3470 - IDENTITY AND POWER IN STEM

Back to all TLL courses

In this course we will grapple with how identity and power are intertwined in the STEM field, through personal reflection, theoretical discourse and scholarly practice. We will begin our scholarly journey at the personal level and then go on to explore the current context of STEM in terms of identity and power. Our collective inquiry will be focused on understanding who we are in STEM, through exploring our own understanding of STEM and wrestling with why we chose a path along this scholarly trajectory. Additionally, we will examine how STEM, as a field, is experienced across different intersections of identity (race, class, gender, ability, etc.). Finally, we will analyze the ways power operates within the systemic framing of STEM as a discipline, to develop a deeper understanding of our own paths in STEM education.
