Research Discipline/Bio

Muhajir is an interdisciplinary scientist from New Jersey based in NYC. He currently works as a full-time AP Environmental Science and Earth Science teacher in the Bronx and is a doctoral candidate in Science Education. His works grapple with environmental (in)justice, environmental education and educational reform in black and brown communities. His interest in Ph.D. research is at the nexus of curriculum and pedagogical reformation, closing the achievement gap in science education for black and brown youth in inner city communities, and climate and environmental education dissemination. Muhajir’s ultimate research goal is to find methodological approaches to science education dissemination for persons of color and mitigate the achievement gap in STEM for POC.
