Challenging privileged agreements in STEM culture that inhibit social justice in undergraduate education
In her book Sentipensante Pedagogy (2009), Laura Rendón describes privileged agreements that define norms of academia, and develops an alternative pedagogy based on wholeness, social justice, and liberation. In applying these ideas to STEM, I investigate how three norms (a culture of positivism, a privileging of individualism, and a belief in ranking) limit the possibilities for social justice in science and academia. Drawing upon the teachings of my students and collaborators, as well as scholars of critical pedagogy, settler colonial studies, and STS, I analyze how these privileged agreements limit the effectiveness of good intentions towards diversity, equity, and inclusion in three areas relevant to undergraduate education: science pedagogy, the NSF GRFP, and grad school admissions.
