Equity & Excellence in Education, v57 n3 p379-392 2024
Black fathers and daughters are the least explored relationship within parent-child and STEM research. This article serves as an examination of the literature around their relationships and STEM learning and as a call to action. Intersectionality, as an analytic lens, examines Black fathers' familial and STEM relationships over time and Black women's and girls' (BWG's) interest and competence in STEM, as well as how systemic factors of gendered racism, classism, and oppression impacted BWG's aspirations in STEM, computing, and mathematics fields. Data yielded 29 publications addressing Black fathers and daughters in STEM, their relationships, and BWG's interest and competence in STEM, computing, and mathematics learning. Findings reveal that Black fathers' roles in their daughter's STEM lives helps develop positive representations of themselves and their cultural backgrounds. This acknowledgement produces a new level of understanding of Black fathers and girls' engagement in informal and formal STEM learning environments.
