For these girls, visual art served as sites of refusal where they rejected white male-centric visions of STEM and (re)claimed their rightful science and math …
Race(ing) towards futurity: Black and Latinx young people’s multimodal compositions of future selves and literacies
E-racing false narratives: A black woman track star’s multimodal counterstory of possible futures
In 2019 the University of Missouri Athletics (Mizzou Athletics) tweeted an image of student athletes as part of their “I am” campaign. While the two white student athletes are defined with captions stating the certainty of their future careers, the Black students are defined by their racial identity and current values. The Mizzou tweet demonstrates how collegiate sports programs at PWIs reflect white patriarchal systems that seek to control the f…
