"Pity Y'all Don't See Me": Differential Racialization, Resistance, and the Persistent Erasure of Invisible Boys of Color in Science Classrooms
Basile, Vincent; Thomas, Bryan
Journal of Science Teacher Education, v33 n2 p154-169 2022
Using previously collected data from a multi-site, mixed methods longitudinal study, we operationalize a conceptual frame of invisibility to describe and understand the phenomenon of erasure that some Boys of Color experienced by teachers in science learning environments where most others were hyper-visible (and subsequently hyper-criminalized). Recentering these "invisible Boys of Color" revealed three descriptive categories: (a) introversion, (b) newcomers, and (c) frequently absent. In detailing these categories and their associated narratives and labels, we complexify our understandings of the lived experiences of Boys of Color in science education and offer frameworks for ways in which teacher education can equip pre-service and in-service science teachers to disrupt these insidious and sophisticated forms of systemic racism.
