This first volume presents narratives from science education researchers of African ancestry, reflecting on the significance of a professional home. Through personal and scholarly perspectives, Black researchers share experiences of seeking, establishing, or finding belonging in science education across diverse settings. Authors from various institutions offer insights into traditionally White universities and a distinct home in Africa. By showcasing counter-narratives and strategies, this book supports the next generation of science education researchers and teacher educators. Drawing from interdisciplinary traditions--historical, philosophical, psychological, and sociological--it provides a nuanced understanding of research, identity, and community within the field.
