Empowering students to make science-based decisions
requires acknowledgment and dialogue around the injustices marginalized
communities have endured within scientific fields.
TAKEAWAYS:
1. Develop empathy through the exploration of historical events that have accumulated generational mistrust of STEM communities; 2. Create opportunities to acknowledge and validate personal experience even when it might contradict our personal experience or larger data sets; and 3. Explore the impact of the objectivity myth perpetuated within STEM educational spaces.
