A critical approach to examine the racial and science identity formation of Latinx students

Join Danielle Maxwell, M.S. in Educational Studies and Ph.D. in Chemistry, as she shares her research on the science and racial identity development of Latina undergraduates at Hispanic Serving Institutions in the Southwestern U.S. Funded by the 2022 Graduate Research Grant, Danielle’s work aims to bridge cultural gaps in STEM education and support minority students’ academic journeys. Discover how this grant facilitated her research, from compensating participants to presenting findings at major conferences. Learn about her insights into the importance of familial support and culturally relevant pedagogies in enhancing STEM education for Latina students.
The Anti-Racism Collaborative, administered by the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID), Ford School of Public Policy, and Rackahm Graduate School are co-sponsors of the Graduate Research Grant. These grants aim to support engagement in research projects focused on racial inequality, racial equity, and racial justice while advancing graduate student progress toward a degree.
