Research Collaboration and Dissemina- tion: HEAL seeks to co-create new models of research collaborations, building partnerships based on anti-racist practices and repar- ative relationships with Black, Native, Indigenous, and oth- er communities of color. The project aims to research, create, teach, and disseminate educational materials that highlight how racism, settler colonialism, and white supremacy have shaped the historical development of STEMM disciplines, academic in- stitutions, and scientific practice. By examining power dynam- ics and their influence on learning and careers in these fields, HEAL intends to foster a critical understanding of the ongoing impact of these forces. Engaging the Campus Community: To amplify its impact, the HEAL project aims to engage the wider UW-Madison community in meaningful education- al opportunities, conversations, and actions. By recognizing and countering the legacies of racism, settler colonialism, and white supremacy in academia, particularly in STEMM fields, the project fosters partnerships with other efforts focused on transforming the racial climate of higher education. Through collaboration with organizations such as Pioneer Possibilities, Nehemiah-Justified Anger, UBUNTU Research, and the Wis- consin Center for Education Research, HEAL aims to evaluate and refine its initiatives.
The HEAL project represents a groundbreaking effort to bridge the gap between humanities research and anti-racist practices in STEMM education. By addressing the histories of racism and underrepresentation, it seeks to create a more equitable university and society. Through pedagogical trans- formation, collaborative research, and community engage- ment, HEAL strives to provide models and examples of trans- formative higher education. By centering the experiences of Black, Native, Indigenous, and other students of color, HEAL is working to build accurate narratives, redress inequities, and contribute to a more inclusive and just future for all.
