Description
"[I]n this chapter we describe how the Critical Race Design of an HBCU research-practitioner partnership, called E-Communities (Khalil & Kier, 2017, 2018, 2021a), afforded a space for stakeholders' active cultivation of community cultural wealth (CCW; Yosso, 2005). By centering stakeholders' voices, we illustrate how the pedagogical dimensions of community cultural wealth can engage minoritized learners in STEM resources by transforming exclusionary STEM environments into spaces that center civic engagement, community strengths, and social justice principles. In the next section, we describe how various forms of social and academic resources embedded in HBCUs' institutional missions, curricular activities, and instructional strategies serve as cultural resources that foster postsecondary students' STEM pathways. Afterwards, we describe the research design where community cultural wealth frames how such resources both contextualize and socialize minoritized students' engagement with STEM spaces. We conclude by describing the importance of establishing and sustaining meaningful research-practice partnership, particularly with HBCU with stakeholders seeking to dismantle the systemic inequities in STEM spaces."
