Welcome to The STEM Inclusionary, our community for inclusive excellence in STEM
Join Our Community
The STEM Inclusionary is a virtual community of HBCU STEM faculty who together make up a vital collective voice for broadening participation in STEM higher education.
A Truly Universal Subject
Understanding how to reform our institutions into diverse and equitable spaces of STEM learning starts at the personal level. The STEM Inclusionary is a virtual space for leaders of STEM education reforms that broaden participation; rooted in the knowledge of HBCU STEM faculty who know from personal experience that being at the forefront of broadening participation in American higher education at a time of increasing racial tensions, threats of physical harm, and politicalization of learning can often feel like an impossible challenge. This emboldened community of faculty and administrators share a commitment to co-creating, co-laboring, and co-learning the most effective means of confronting and combatting structural and systemic barriers that exclude minoritized students and faculty from STEM fields.
Why You Should Be Part of the STEM Inclusionary Community
We want you to do what you do best, which is sharing your expertise in broadening participation and setting a high standard for undergraduate STEM education reform through critical and reflective dialogue.
The STEM Inclusionary is designed to cultivate and elevate innovative research and best practices on broadening participation, but it’s also a safe place to test out ideas, build out your network, and exchange professional development knowledge and opportunities.
There is no minimum time commitment, no required documentation, and no lengthy calls.
Championing our community’s work is key to our mission – join our collective as we elevate and center HBCU faculty knowledge to improve representation and advancement of marginalized communities in STEM higher education.
The STEM Inclusionary will highlight and propagate our community’s knowledge externally to the broader STEM higher education field – seeding these mechanisms of change to be acted upon by individuals and institutions across the country.
