"This volume presents a series of responsive and innovative approaches that expand minoritized students' opportunities to learn STEM. Drawing on bell hooks' vision of transgressive practice, the volume includes chapters that blend theory and practice across a variety of educational contexts, and the editors synthesize them to put forth a framework for Transgressive STEM Teaching. What is also particularly notable is the way the book integrates deeply personal stories throughout the book. As such, the text itself embodies a pedagogy of vulnerability, a transgressive STEM practice and marginalized discourse in STEM and STEM education. I highly recommend this book for teachers, administrators, researchers, and community partners." -Sara Tolbert, Associate Professor of Science Education, University of Arizona
