What does it mean to be practicing inclusion in science? In this episode, we interviewed Dr. Amie Fornah Sankoh, who shared stories about her journey in becoming the first deaf, Black woman to receive a doctorate in a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) discipline in the United States.
A full transcript to the audio recording of the interview can be found here. A video version of the recording will be released at a later date for audiences to experience and engage with Amie through the embodiment of sign language.
Special thanks to Dr. Gloshanda Lawyer, Taylor Harris and Jolanta Galloway for their help with interpretation.
