Summary
Education is central to the formation of new ideas. With knowledge and practice we can learn to reflect on our behaviors, improve relationships, and transcend limiting believes. However, education is traditionally framed within an Eurocentric lens, which is harmful and disrespectful of the voices it neglects to include. Active steps need to be taken to transform curricula and syllabi to include the fuller picture and remove the handprint of racist constructs on education.
Where to start
One of the best places to start is local. At ASU we have many projects and initiatives that have a mission to increase inclusivity in education:
- Office of Inclusion and Community EngagementA unit within the Office of the University Provost that works to empower and give voice to all members of the university community in the areas of scholarship, teaching, learning and governance.
- Project HumanitiesBrings together individuals and communities, within and around Arizona State University, to instill passion and knowledge of humanities study, research, and humanist thought.
- Society for the Advancement of Biology Education Research (SABER)An initiative in spring 2021 sponsored by the Society for the Advancement of Biology Education Research (SABER) focused on promoting awareness, understanding and commitment to change academic biology environments to be more inclusive.
- ASU Research for Inclusive STEM Education CenterThis article describes the newly formed RISE center.

- Want To Dismantle Racism In Science? Start In The ClassroomThe article discusses needed educational reforms for the curriculum.
- Skin Deep: Race and Ethnicity on CampusThis film chronicles the eye-opening journey of a diverse and divided group of college students as they awkwardly but honestly confront each other's racial prejudices. Academy Award nominated filmmaker Frances Reid follows students from the University of Massachusetts, Texas A&M, Chico State, and U. C. Berkeley to a challenging racial awareness workshop where they confront each other's innermost feelings about race and ethnicity. She also accompanies them back to their campuses and on visits home in an attempt to understand why they think the way they do.
