About

Pricilla Dua is an emerging scholar whose research centers on sociopolitical solidarity within STEM education, challenging conventional frameworks that reduce learning to mere achievement metrics. Her most-cited work, "Sociopolitical solidarity in STEM education: youth-centered relationships that resist learning as just achievement data" (2023), has garnered 11 citations, signaling growing interest in her critical, equity-focused approach. Dua’s major contribution lies in reimagining STEM classrooms as spaces where youth-centered relationships foster resistance against data-driven, deficit-based models of learning. By centering solidarity—rather than competition or standardization—she advocates for educational practices that honor students’ lived experiences and collective agency. This work aligns with broader movements in critical pedagogy and culturally sustaining STEM education, offering a powerful counter-narrative to high-stakes accountability systems. Though early in her career, Dua’s research has already influenced discussions on how educators can build more just, relational learning environments. Her scholarship is particularly notable for bridging theory and practice, providing actionable insights for teachers and researchers committed to dismantling oppressive structures in STEM. As her citation count grows, Dua is poised to become a key voice in redefining what meaningful, equitable STEM education looks like for all youth.
