In this seminar, we welcome Dr. Tatiane Russo-Tait to discuss her research on equity and justice in postsecondary STEM education. Color-evasive racial ideology informs STEM instructors’ equity beliefs in ways that constrain their ability to (1) support students from racially minoritized backgrounds, (2) disrupt deficit narratives, and (3) recognize their responsibility in ameliorating racial injustice in their classroom and other spheres of influence. Critical race consciousness development is key for instructors to individually and collectively advance racial justice in STEM learning environments.

Dr. Russo-Tait is an Assistant Professor in the Cellular Biology department at the University of Georgia, where she leads the ACCESS Lab (Advancing Critical Consciousness, Equity, and Social Justice in STEM). She has a BA and MS in Cell Biology, and a PhD in STEM Education. Her research, recently funded by the National Science Foundation, has been featured in the Journal of Research on Science Teaching, Science Education, and CBE – Life Sciences Education.”
