Edna Tan, PhD, is associate professor of science education at University of North Carolina Greensboro, discussed her work that explores issues of power and systemic injustices as they relate to identity among underrepresented youth, in both informal and formal learning settings in science and engineering. She focuses on "identity work" and "identities in practice" (i.e., what youth do, say, or perform) to understand how youth engage with STEM in ways that empower them as valuable contributors to STEM. Dr. Tan spoke at Metcalf Institute's 2019 InclusiveSciComm Symposium held at the University of Rhode Island, September 27 -29. Learn more at inclusivescicomm.org.
