Based on this extensive research, McGee advocates for structural and institutional changes to address racial discrimination, stereotyping, and hostile environments in an effort to make the field more inclusive. Black, Brown, Bruised reveals the challenges that underrepresented racially minoritized students confront in order to succeed in these exclusive, usually all-White, academic and professional realms. The book provides searing accounts of racism inscribed on campus, in the lab, and on the job, and portrays learning and work environments as arenas rife with racial stereotyping, conscious and unconscious bias, and micro-aggressions. As a result, many students experience the effects of a racial battle fatigue--physical and mental exhaustion borne of their hostile learning and work environments--leading them to abandon STEM fields entirely. McGee offers policies and practices that must be implemented to ensure that STEM education and employment become more inclusive including internships, mentoring opportunities, and curricular offerings. Such structural changes are imperative if we are to reverse the negative effects of racialized STEM and unlock the potential of all students to drive technological innovation and power the economy."--Amazon 650 0 $a Racism in education $z United States. 650 0 $a Science $x Study and teaching $z United States. 650 0 $a Technology $x Study and teaching $z United States. 650 0 $a Engineering $x Study and teaching $z United States. 650 0 $a Mathematics $x Study and teaching $z United States. 700 1 $a Stovall, David, $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020013.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211005011905.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210723015034.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BD2800F0652711EBAC2324F85BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
