The Models We Live By

<p>I’m pretty excited about this episode. My friend Kori, and former kickball team mate, also happens to have a PhD in Educational Psychology and every time I talk to her I am amazed by her wisdom. </p><p>In this episode, we delve into research on belonging in STEM through a critical lens. The discussion reveals that the view of STEM as inherently objective, rational, and logical is a cultural assumption rooted in whiteness, which can exclude people of color and other ways of knowing, such as indigenous perspectives. By examining how systems of power impact context and belonging, particularly for Black and Latina students, we aim to challenge and deconstruct these prevailing perceptions in STEM.</p><p>Find out more about Dr. Kori: https://education.indiana.edu/about/directory/profiles/nicolai-korinthia.html</p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Like Quiche at <a href="https://www.likequiche.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.likequiche.com/subscribe</a>
