In this HMC Office of Institutional Diversity (OID) talk, “The Current Landscape of STEM Education and the Resulting Impact on Communities of Color,” Seton Hall Professor Edmund Adjapong describes what it means to be an antiracist STEM educator/advocate in support of students of color advancing in STEM fields. He directs Science Genius initiatives that mentor and prepare students for STEM careers.
Creativity & imagination. Critical thinking. Exploratory learning. Passion for innovation. Problem solving. "As educators supporting students in STEM," says Adjapong, "we need to provide quality STEM education to support folks in gaining these skills whether they want to embark in STEM or not."

Join us Sept. 22 at 6:15 p.m. (on Zoom) for “The Pedagogy of Technoscience: Using Social Justice and Culturally Responsive Frameworks to Promote Liberatory Practices in STEM Learning Environments,” part of HMC Office of Institutional Diversity (OID)'s Anti-Racist Series.
Yvonne Thevenot EDM, PhD will share highlights about a trend taking place within STEM—using technoscience pedagogies to utilize interdisciplinary methodologies that serve to challenge racism and carceral forms of technology and science systems. Rather than continuing to address the deficits and marginalization created from existing algorithms, apps, AI and scientific products and systems, Thevenot invites you to consider utilizing various modes of text, narratives and STEM interdisciplinary teaching and development strategies to liberate STEM learning spaces and enable all students to thrive in a world where they can innovate freely and, with hope, create a world that is truly equitable. https://www.hmc.edu/calendar/events/oid-event-the-pedagogy-of-technoscience-yvonne-thevenot/

A message to our community...
A message to our community...
In our last APIDA highlight series feature for this school year, we are highlighting Alfred Flores, a professor of Asian American Studies at Harvey Mudd College. He is also housed under the Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies at the Claremont Colleges and will soon be finishing his first year with us at the Claremont Colleges! Here’s more about Prof. Flores in his own words:
---
I’m Alfred P. Flores, Ph.D. in History from UCLA in 2015. I also have an M.A. degree in Public History and B.A. degree in History from UC Riverside. Furthermore, I was a transfer student from College of the Desert in Palm Desert, CA. In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball, watching movies, listening to music, and playing video games.
- Where are you from and how has that shaped your experiences?
My ancestral homelands are the island of Guahan (Guam) and Korea. While I was born in Seoul, South Korea, I grew up and lived most of my life in Indio, CA. Being one of the few Asian American and Pacific Islander people in Indio, I quickly learned about racial identity, racism, and class based issues. In many ways, these experiences helped make me become a more conscientious person about societal inequalities.
-Which spaces/orgs on campus are you involved in? If applicable and you're open to it, when and where can you be found if people would like to meet you (e.g. office/work hours in a space)?
As a first year faculty member at the Claremont Colleges, my goal has been to try and support a variety of campus organizations such as the AARC (Asian American Resource Center) (PO), Center for Asian Pacific American Students (CAPAS) (PZ), HMC Office of Institutional Diversity (OID) (HMC). I have two offices, one at HMC and the other at Pomona College. The best way to meet with me is to set up an appointment via email at [email protected].
-Is there anything that you are working on that would like to share with our community?
My most recent publication is a research essay on U.S. colonial education policy and curriculum in Guam from 1899 to 1950 that was published by Oxford University Press (March 2019). I am currently working on two other projects. The first is my book manuscript on the militarization of Guam from World War II to 1962. The second project is an essay that examines college pathways, pedagogies, and Pacific Islander Studies.
I will also be co-organizing next year's IDAAS signature event series with Dr. Mike Manalo-Pedro (Asian American Resource Center) on the topic of militarization and decolonization in Asia, the Pacific, and the continental United States. This event is going to bring three major scholars in the fields of Asian American Studies, Native American Studies, and Pacific Islander Studies to the Claremont Colleges to give presentations on their research. Moreover, students will be given the opportunity to participate in an AlternaBreak, which will take place in San Diego, where they will meet with other student/community organizations and learn about the militarization of Native lands near the Mexico/U.S. border.
- What brings you joy?
I cherish spending time with my family and friends. Life is finite, so spend as much of it with the people you care and love.

As we await our elected leaders' actions and votes on the current Supreme Court nominee, it's vital to think about the messages being conveyed to boys, girls, men, women and gender non-conforming people about masculinity, misogyny, and sexual and gendered violence. These messages have repressions for our society and country. We invite everyone in our community, students, staff, and faculty, who would like to talk about how this situation is affecting them. Come to talk, to listen, or to just sit with others who are also trying to process what is happening and what this might mean. Everyone is welcome to share in this empathetic and healing space.

Pain, Power, and Promise: Poetry in a Trumpian Era
"Poetry can be a method of change and activism"
"Issues in society and race deep and present. Spoken word is powerful."
In conversation yesterday with Matt Sedillo, a two-time national slam poet award winner, about the broken promises of the American Dream. Sedillo uses history, political theory, and humor to reveal the complexities of capitalism, racism, sexism, and classism. Through poetry Sedillo investigates the pain of poverty and his own homelessness in Los Angeles, and envisions a more compassionate and equitable world.
