Evading Race: STEM Faculty Struggle to Acknowledge Racialized Classroom Events.

ABSTRACT: Undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classrooms are not race-neutral spaces, and instructors have the power to center racial equity and inclusion in their instructional practices.
