Confronting Racism and Colonialism in Geoscience Education through a Historical Lens: Integrating Critical Pedagogy in Earth Sciences Curricula part of Humanities Education for Anti-Racism Literacy:Embedding Anti-Racism in STEMM:In the Classroom:Case Studies
Using a college-level biogeography course as a case study, we draw from critical engaged pedagogy and antiracist scholarship to interrogate biases in the processes and forms of knowledge production, legitimization, and exclusion; the source of inequities in scholar representation and professional advancement in the discipline; and how societal benefits and harms of research practices are felt disproportionately by different groups and in different places (locally, regionally, globally).
