Addressing Anti-Blackness in Latinidad and Its Impact on STEM

Addressing Anti-Blackness in Latinidad and Its Impact on STEM

Anti-Blackness refers to beliefs, attitudes, actions, practices, and behaviors of individuals and institutions that devalue, minimize, and marginalize the full participation of Black people. Recently, LatCrit Education scholars have emphasized the necessity to situate race in the conceptualization of Latinidad, and thus address Anti-Blackness in the Latino/a/x/e community.  

During this event, the panel of speakers will present their work with Latino STEM students/educators, highlighting the ways in which they situate race and name anti-Blackness.

Following their presentations, members of the NARST Latino/a/e/x Research Interest Group (LARIG) leadership will facilitate an open discussion with webinar attendees on this topic.

Panelists include:

  • Ammy Sena, M.A.
  • José I González, M.A.
  • Dra. Angel Jones
  • Dr. E. Anthony Muhammed
