Spotlight on Scholars
Featured Scholar – Tasnim Aziz

Tasnim recently contributed to Dr. Chris Emdin’s latest book, STEM, STEAM, Make, DREAM: Reimagining the Culture of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. It is a book that amplifies the voices of educators, innovators, and communities reimagining STEM, STEM education, and the culture of STEM. In the book, we provide practical guides for educators to nurture creativity, spark joy, and promote perseverance while honoring culture, increasing equity, and encouraging curiosity. Tasnim has a growing interest in decolonizing STEM education and often curates content on Instagram (@tcplaneteer) to center the voices of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) who are taking control of their narrative in STEM and addressing the climate crisis. Tasnim‘s research focuses on exploring how the youth leverage the powers from their respective identities and positionalities to take action for environmental justice.
