Through participant-generated photographs, captions, and interview quotes, our goal is to share the supports and barriers experienced by Native undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We also highlight the ways in which one’s Native identity intersects (or not) with one’s science identity.
Explore beautiful photo galleries on our website to learn more about the STEM journeys of Native students and professionals through their eyes.
*The full name of our project is Native STEM Portraits: A Longitudinal, Mixed-Methods Study of the Intersectional Experiences of Native Learners and Professionals in STEM. It is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF Grant #2000619).
I particularly enjoyed this [“There has to be another way”] piece. I feel like not everyone recognizes the fact that there exists real pushback against higher education at times. It can be hard to go from a primarily trades focused neighborhood into college/tech/or academia.
