Navigating Race in Science Teacher Education: The Counterstory of a Woman Faculty of Color

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study uses Critical Race Theory and the Politics of Domestication as guiding frameworks to investigate the experiences of a Woman Faculty of Color science teacher-educator. The experiences focus on the status quo of race relations in science teacher education and how they are revealed through everyday practices, interactions, and the culture in a teacher education department. Two CRT tenets, racism is a normal part of society and interest convergence, highlight how science teacher education still primarily operates centered in whiteness.
