On June 10, 2020, researchers around the world observed the call to #ShutDownSTEM in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and efforts to address the systemic racism that ended the lives of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. One might ask, “what does racism in policing have to do with STEM and its struggle to diversify?” Drawing from work of the NSF Race, Gender and Social Control in STEM Lab, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Odis Johnson answers this question by exploring how the criminalization of minoritized students within U.S. schools negatively impacts their math scores, school completion, and college entry. The presentation concludes with a discussion of how the technological infrastructure of schools and systemic racism collude to keep beyond reach the promise of greater “techquity” and a robust STEM workforce.
