A Critical Race Theory analysis of lack of access and representation in physics education through counterstory
written by
Clausell Mathis
published by the American Association of Physics Teachers edited by Laura A. H. Wood, Meseret F. Hailu, and Verónica N. Vèlez
There is a lack of physics courses offered in school environments where there is a majority of racially minoritized students at the secondary level. The lack of access for many racially minoritized students results in a lack of representation and exposure to physics. Based on my experiences as a student and faculty member in physics education, I recognize the systemic issues that play a role in access and presentation. This paper's Critical Race Theory (CRT) lens helps us further understand the causes of racial inequities within physics education. Specifically, I share a narrative of my experiences in physics education that illustrates the indirect and direct marginalization of racially minoritized students within the physics education culture. I then analyze my experiences using the CRT tenets of racism as endemic and normalized, interest convergence, and whiteness as property. I use my narrative to shed light on the larger systems of access and representation in physics education.
