Congratulations to one of CCE’s amazing leaders who oversees the CSU STEM VISTA program, Dr. Kristina Barger, for successfully defending her dissertation, An Exploration of the Perpetuation and Dismantling of White Supremacy Culture in Biology Courses. Kristina’s important research is a natural extension of her deep commitment to creating equity-centered educational environments for students of color, low income students and women. Kristina is invested in listening, learning and transforming herself, her relationships, and her leadership to impact the world in ways that disrupt the status quo and build genuine inclusivity. We see you, Dr. Barger!

Research Description:
A critical examination of how white supremacy culture manifests in biology courses is necessary for creating equitable educational environments as science education is foundationally rooted in whiteness. This qualitative, multiple case study (Yin, 2018) interrogated how four white biology faculty members teaching at 4-year public universities on the West Coast express their understanding of whiteness in relation to their teaching. Findings from this study support the notion that white racial identity influences faculty teaching practices that sustain and/or disrupt white supremacy culture. In order to interrupt the perpetuation of white supremacy, white faculty must increase their racial consciousness and grapple with their white identity development.
