The analysis comes from a collaborative project btwn Sonoma State U. (HSI site) & Vanderbilt U. titled "Transformative Inclusion in Postsecondary STEM" (TIPS). Our research lab's website offers for more info re: TIPS & other projects on intersectionality in STEM: lab.vanderbilt.edu/prismlab/ (4/5)

We found that a racially-affirming community (a key element of campuswide servingness) was critical for Latin* Ss' equitable access to classroom participation. Building such a community, thus, was a "mechanism of instructional servingness." The figure presents a visual summary of our findings. (3/5)

Applying an adaptation of @ginaanngarcia.bsky.social's servingness model as our analytical lens (see figure), we examined journaling and interview data for Latin* Ss' perceptions of math instructional practices that limited or promoted support for their racial & intersectional identities. (2/5)

Full of pride for 3 Ph.D. student members of our research lab community at Vanderbilt University who earned graduate fellowships to advance their research studies on equity issues in STEM higher education. More details regarding their respective projects below. 👇

YW! Sure thing. Here is a worked-out example for 983 divided by 4. Hope that helps! :)

Hi, Sara! I can’t think of other physical manipulatives. In case it’s also helpful, my methods course explores student use of the Division Worksheet to visualize base-10 grouping in multidigit division. The worksheet is helpful because it preserves rich place-value knowledge like the base-10 blocks.

Nazemi & I used my framework, STEM Education as a White Cisheteropatriarchal Space (WCHPS), as the lens for reviewing 61 articles & proceeding papers. WCHPS elucidated the extent to which ideological, institutional, and relational dimensions of gender research were advanced intersectionally.
