This paper is in dialogue with Danielle Ferguson and Catherine Martin-Dunlop’s paper, Uncovering stories of resilience among successful African American women in STEM. The purpose of this article is to extend conversations on Black women in STEM, focusing on radical transformations of STEM by centering (and normalizing) their voices and experiences. Understanding the necessity of taking a critical perspective toward unpacking the lived experiences of Black women in STEM, we seek resistance and justice, moving beyond the notion of coping that promotes individual reform. To foster critical perspectives, we offer resistance frameworks that disrupt mainstream positionings of Black women.

本文与丹妮尔·弗格森（Danielle Ferguson）和凯瑟琳·马丁·邓洛普（Catherine Martin-Dunlop）的论文对话，揭示了成功的非裔美国女性在STEM中的韧性故事。本文的目的是扩展有关STEM中黑人女性的讨论，通过集中（和规范化）她们的声音和经验，着重于STEM的根本转变。理解以批判性的观点来揭示黑人妇女在STEM中的生活经历的必要性之后，我们寻求抵制和正义，超越了促进个人改革的应对概念。为了培养批判性的观点，我们提供了抵抗框架，这些框架破坏了黑人女性的主流立场。
