Universities generally cover a wide range of subjects, focused on an academic field, say mathematics or computer science. And the argument is that if a university degree is a good investment, it ought to be substantially more valuable than the opportunity cost. My argument is that the risk is too high, and the returns too low.

Just as students who achieve in STEM fields are lauded for their “brilliance,” STEM teachers are often revered for teaching a subject area that many find to be unapproachable. We looked deeply at the role that race, and more specifically racism, plays in the teaching, retention, and recruitment experiences of Black mathematics teachers.
