TROUBLED WATERS: WHERE MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INEQUALITY CONVERGE IN THE MATH AND SCIENCE EXPERIENCES OF NONPRIVILEGED GIRLS
SINOPSIS
Water is often hardest to navigate at the confluence of individual streams. As they experience math and science, nonprivileged girls maneuver through roiling waters where the streams of gender, ethnicity, poverty, place, and teaching practices converge. Just as waters of separate streams blend, these issuestoo often considered separate factorsbecome blended and difficult to isolate, and the resulting turbulence produces a bumpy ride. We draw on 3 years of qualitative data collected as part of an intervention program to explore the math and science experiences and perceptions of a group of ethnically diverse, low socioeconomic status rural and urban adolescent Appalachian girls. After describing program and community contexts, we explore "opportunity to leant" issuesspecifically, expectations, access to content, and support networksand examine their schooling experiences against visions of science and math reform and pressures for accountability. Data are discussed within a framework of critical educational theory.
