Charnell Chasten Long

Charnell Chasten Long is a Ph.D. Candidate in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her primary research interests are in the history of Black education and STEM. Her previous work experience as a Chemist, Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools Intern, and high school science teacher informs her research. Long’s research critically examines how Black students navigated and negotiated space in the scientific sphere during the early 20th century. Her dissertation examines how Beta Kappa Chi Scientific Honor Society, an organization founded in 1923, created space for aspiring Black scientists. She has received travel awards to present her work at the 2018 Society for the History of Technology Conference, 2020 Science History Institute Conference, 2021 National Association of Research on Science Teaching (NARST) Conference, and 2021 American Education Research Association.
