In partnership with the School of Engineering, we invite you to a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) Lecture featuring Dr. Ebony O. McGee, entitled “Black, Brown, Bruised: How Racialized STEM Education Stifles Innovation.”
Dr. McGee is a Professor of Education, Diversity and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Education at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College. In this lecture, she will discuss her book, Black, Brown, Bruised: How Racialized STEM Education Stifles Innovation, in which she conducted 319 interviews with high-achieving, underrepresented undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty of color in STEM fields. She found that key motivators for their persistence in these fields were catalyzing change, improving communities, and being the Black/Latinx/Indigenous STEM professors that many of these students never had.
Please RSVP and indicate whether you will attend in-person or via Zoom. If you would like to attend virtually, you will receive an email with a Zoom link before the event.
