Many people enter STEM careers with goals of enacting change in the world. But along the way they often feel alienated from their original motivations. This course will look at why this happens by teaching students about how scientific practice retains roots in white supremacy, colonialism, and patriarchy. Students will learn how these systems of oppression shaped norms of science and what they can do to create more equitable scientific practices.
