Critical Race Theory in Science Education: Moving Forward and Making Critical Connections to Race through the DAST Research
Earnest Watkins, Shari
Cultural Studies of Science Education, v17 n1 p169-176 Mar 2022
In this paper, I discuss how Walls employs color-blind ideology, a critical race theory (CRT) tenet to analyze the role of race in the draw-a-scientist (DAST) literature. Walls' article, "A critical race theory analysis of the draw-a-scientist test: Are they really that white?" exposes how omitting race in DAST research leads to inaccurate perceptions and perpetuates stereotypes that children's views and images of scientists are White and male. This commentary focuses on identifying the ways Walls sheds light on color-blind ideology in DAST and offers insights for extending the use of CRT in science education. [For "A Critical Race Theory Analysis of the Draw-a-Scientist Test: Are They Really That White?," see EJ1332976.]
