Session Abstract

Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) professions have long been stereotyped as white and masculine. Subtle and overt forms of discrimination exist in STEM classrooms, potentially discouraging participation by students who are minoritized based on their race, gender, and disability status. Increasing participatory equity, which implies having a fair and uniform distribution of participation opportunities by all students, can help increase the retention of diverse populations of STEM students, ultimately helping to diversify the STEM workforce. This workshop will provide participants with strategies to attenuate participatory inequities in their own classrooms and an opportunity to create a community of practice.
