DESCRIPTION: \n\nSTEM education and industries must confront their historic
 al and ongoing \nbiases\, including the exclusion of non-White perspective
 s\, the dominance of \nWhite ideologies\, and the marginalization of minor
 itized cultures that have \ncontributed to STEM globally. These systems of
 ten frame knowledge as neutral \nand unconnected to power\, creating envir
 onments that are unwelcoming to those \nwho do not fit the mold of White\,
  heterosexual\, able-bodied men. As a way to \nchallenge these inequities\
 , Dr. Ebony McGee (Professor of Innovation and \nInclusion in the STEM Eco
 system at Johns Hopkins University) will discuss \nAfrofuturism\, which of
 fers a transformative framework that intersects \nimagination\, technology
 \, liberation\, and a Black cultural lens. By \nreimagining futures where 
 Black individuals and communities thrive\, \nAfrofuturism critiques system
 ic racism\, interrogates historical injustices\, \nand amplifies marginali
 zed voices in STEM. It envisions a future where the \nAfrican diaspora is 
 central to technological and scientific progress\, \nfostering justice-dri
 ven innovation and inclusive learning. Join us for this \npowerful present
 ation and explore how Afrofuturism can reshape \nSTEM—everyone is encourag
 ed to attend!
