Dissertation Abstract: Dominant equity discourses in STEM education continue to prioritize increasing access to disciplinary knowledge without critically interrogating the ways in which traditional science and technology learning bounds its participants. This multiphase dissertation project contests the boundaries of STEM education by centering the discursive relationship emergent between participatory learning and community self-determination. In the contexts of both my science classroom and summer technology program, I propose a teacher research study to explore how teachers and students engage the structure-agency dialectic present within a participatory STEM project to address community issues at the intersections of canonical STEM knowledge, environmental justice, and digital technologies. The holistic set of data include curriculum documents, program recordings, and interviews with teachers, students, and community leaders. Drawing uniquely from the data throughout each phase of the project and its respective nuanced investigations, I explore how physics and technology education can be repurposed as community-responsive, liberatory praxes. By focusing on teacher, student, and community perspectives in school science and during out-of-school programming, I hope to articulate new possibilities for equity in physics and technology education by informing the development of future participatory and community-responsive STEM projects that position students as transformative intellectuals, who enact their agentic power to transform oppressive structures and help their communities to self-determine.
