BIOL 1700 - Inclusive STEM

Goals: To identify actions we can take as individuals and within institutions to promote inclusion and equity in STEM.

Content: In this course, we will explore how identities such as race, gender, sexuality, and ability influence the practice of Western science. Through current statistics, data, primary literature, and other media, we will examine the historical context of bias and exclusion in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and the barriers faced by different groups that allow disparities to persist.
