A National Science Foundation project, “Racial Equity: Reimagining Educator Learning Pathways Through Storywork for Racial Equity in STEM,” aims to develop foundational theory and knowledge in educator learning towards new systems of education and STEM knowledge development.
Dr. Carrie Tzou was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation for a project titled “Racial Equity: Reimagining Educator Learning Pathways Through Storywork for Racial Equity in STEM.” This collaborative research project brings together Northwestern University, Boston University, and the University of Washington and works to develop foundational theory and knowledge in educator learning towards new systems of education and STEM knowledge development. We aim to design, implement, and study a model that supports educators across STEM learning pathways (K-12, informal, higher education) in learning how to recognize and disrupt pedagogical paradigms that replicate deeply historicized racialized inequalities, and to cultivate attunements, knowledge, and practices that create just learning environments towards thriving worlds. This three-year project was awarded $1,106,513 and began July 1, 2023.
