Wedon’t often think of missing a routine as part of the nostalgia effect. Yet past practice – forexample, a seat you take in the classroom, participating by listening and observing orspeaking up first, immediately turning on the mute button during a zoom meeting, hearingthat your way of asking questions will be appreciated on a research team, or driving on thesame stretch of highway to work every day – all build an internalized automatic and reflexiveresponse.

Not only do the branches of STEAM complement one another in practice, they supporta holistic view of knowledge creation. For example, research on project-based learning such asLearning by Design (LBD) has demonstrated that design considerations assist in overall scienceliteracy for complex systems16. The multi-disciplinary focus in STEAM education should notonly be thought of on the instrumental level, however.

Research suggests hostile campus climates are associated withstudents of color leaving STEM fields before graduating. Such barriers can be more pronouncedfor WOC who often experience a “double bind” of race and gender marginalization whennavigating the STEM culture. Therefore, it is important that educators understand experiences ofWOC and what is needed to improve students’ experiences in order to minimize the performancegap in key indicators (e.g., retention, achievement and persistence).
