Concepts in science education such as "science identity" and "science capital" are informed by dominant epistemological and ontological positions, which translate into assumptions about what counts as science and whose science counts. In this theoretical paper we draw on decolonial and antiracist perspectives to examine these…

In a global knowledge economy, knowledge has replaced resource extraction as a significant source of nation building. We argue that the…
