Transforming Educational Experiences and Web Cultural
Diversity
Judy Meuth’s research, supported by the National Science Foundation, is directed at ensuring American Indian students’ readiness for higher education through partnerships between Northwest tribes and school districts and subsequent evolution of culturally relevant curricula and pedagogies. A new project with WSU’s Program in American Studies and the Center to Bridge the Digital Divide focuses on marginalized and underserved communities’ creation of World Wide Web content to increase community access, technology capacity, and self-representation.
Meuth explores models for collaborative solutions to the systemic absence or misrepresentation of American Indian and other underserved voices and cultures both in schools and on the Web. She seeks support to develop frameworks for lasting partnerships and successful models for transformational change. Measures of success include expanded cultural awareness, institutional change in educational practice, community-based technology capacity and use, and sustainability of social and economic independence.
Meuth’s work also investigates the influences of gender, race, and culture on science and technology and on science and math education, as well as the impacts of science and culture on communities and the environment.
