Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs): Learning from the Past, Preparing for The Future

stem-net@calstate.edu (Dr. Rick Sperling, Dr. Frank A. Gomez) — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 23:19:19 +0000

In this episode of All Things STEM, Dr. Frank A. Gomez welcomes Dr. Rick Sperling, who brings thoughtful insight into how Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) support students through the lenses of culture, identity, and institutional practice. Together, they reflect on how “servingness” is about more than enrollment numbers—it’s also about the day-to-day choices and structures that shape student experiences.

They also discuss how shifts in research funding can influence institutional priorities and decision-making, and what that can mean for accountability and whose voices are included. Along the way, they explore common challenges in grant narratives, the difference between representation and shared influence, and why self-determination can be a powerful driver of long-term, meaningful progress.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

Why HSIs benefit from pairing key metrics with deeper measures of impact and student experience
How funding uncertainty can shape priorities—and why including students, families, and communities matters
How deficit narratives get rewarded in proposals—and what gets lost because of it
The difference between representation and shared influence (including who shapes curriculum, rewards, and opportunity pathways)

About the guest:
Dr. Rick Sperling is Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of Community-Based Research at St. Mary’s University (San Antonio, TX). He earned a PhD in Educational Psychology from UT Austin and brings quantitative expertise to questions of race, culture, power, and institutional behavior in HSIs—especially around hiring, tenure, assimilation, deficit mindset, and systemic racism.

The Plastic Illusion: What We’re Not Being Told

stem-net@calstate.edu (Susan Keefe) — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 22:42:24 +0000

In this episode of All Things STEM, host Dr. Frank Gomez speaks with Susan Keefe, California Director of Beyond Plastics and former Oracle executive, about one of the most misunderstood issues in environmental policy: the belief that plastic recycling works as intended.

After nearly 30 years in the technology sector, Susan shifted her career toward environmental advocacy following a personal reckoning tied to chemical contamination and childhood cancer cases in her hometown of Toms River, New Jersey. That experience led her to examine the connections between plastics, fossil fuels, public health, and corporate accountability.

Throughout the conversation, Susan explains why plastic recycling was never designed to function at scale, how decades of industry messaging shaped public behavior, and what actually happens to plastic once it enters the waste stream. She draws on policy research, waste-tracking investigations, and on-the-ground advocacy to illustrate where systems fail—and where meaningful change can still occur.

Listeners will also hear insights on:

The health risks associated with plastics and their chemical additives

Why “recyclable” labels are often misleading

Gaps in enforcement of California’s plastic reduction laws

Practical steps individuals, communities, and institutions can take now

This episode offers a clear look at the realities behind plastic use and recycling, and challenges listeners to rethink convenience, demand transparency, and consider solutions that protect public health and the environment.

“We have to have a shared vision of goals that have explicit value judgements about what it means to have a humane society. There has to be this ideal that we want to strive for and by this, I mean there is a need to form a critical theoretical perspective and analysis where you understand groups and people and micro level issues and how they are connected and interconnected with broader economic systems. We have to see a broader picture beyond individuals and this idea of individual will…and move toward ideals of justice, equity and a more humane society”. In this episode, Dr. Frank A. Gomez engages in a conversation with Dr. Erualdo R. González, a Professor of Chicana and Chicano Studies at California State University, Fullerton, where they explore topics including community engagement, sustainability, equity, and the effects of gentrification.

Ensuring that the Electric Vehicle Revolution Reaches all Californians

stem-net@calstate.edu (Dr. Kevin Fingerman, Dr. Frank A. Gomez) — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 20:02:55 +0000

"The big barriers are upfront purchase price, vehicle range, and the availability of charging infrastructure. There are more visible gas stations than charging stations. The range anxiety piece is one that has dogged the electric vehicle market; people feel like they will get stranded. However, most electric vehicles, with some exceptions, will have a 250-to-400-mile range. Also, upfront purchase prices have reduced. Charging station logistics are a concern. I conducted a study that looked at access to charging infrastructure and the way access is inequitable, even here in California, a state that has a lot of (A) vehicle charging infrastructure and (B) a bit of a justice and equity lens applied to these kinds of policies. Most EVs are owned by folks who have higher income, higher education, and tend to live in single-family homes. This means there is an inequity in who is getting access to the benefits of being an electric vehicle owner." In this episode, Dr. Frank A. Gomez engages in a conversation with Dr. Kevin Fingerman to explore the obstacles hindering the progress of transportation electrification in our state and country. They delve into potential solutions that can be approached from an energy justice perspective.

Teacher of Color Issues, and the Development of Culturally and linguistically Diverse Learners in STEM settings

stem-net@calstate.edu (#Dr. Frank A. Gomez, # Dr. Tina Cheuk) — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 20:46:55 +0000

“61% of teachers in the workforce in California are white, while white students only compose 22% of the student population. So, you already see this disproportion. Latinx teachers are 1 in 5 while Latinx students are 55 to 56 percent of the K-12 student population.” In this episode, host Dr. Frank A. Gomez sits with Dr. Tina Cheuk, assistant professor of Elementary Science Education at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, to discuss issues that include the development of culturally and linguistically diverse learners in STEM settings. In addition, to the struggles of teachers of color across the pipeline.

“If students do not see people who mirror them, they get this opinion that I am not good enough. People that look like me are not there, so they won’t strive to be a teacher. How should we reimagine or reinvent how we look at applicants?”

Gomez, a Professor of Psychology at California State University, San Marcos, to discuss his leadership in mentoring underrepresented students and his personal mentorship experiences that impacted his life.

“Science and academia are not the world that many folks inhabit prior to considering a career in that area, and this is where mentorship becomes essential…I have seen people come into the field and experience brick walls and challenges at multiple times and feel that they are failures. Getting small success along the way is very important to feel that you are competent and can pursue this career, and this is where a mentor can be very helpful”.

My advice is find your people, find your network. Whether or not it is in the physics department. Everyone has tough times, but if you’re having more positive than negative and your enjoying what you’re doing and you have a goal that you want to achieve. Just keep going”.

Minority “Underrepresentation endangers the mind of a nation not the health of various STEM fields”. In this podcast, host, Dr. Frank A. Gomez, sits down with National Medal of Science awardee and Computational & Applied Mathematics University Professor, Dr. Richard A. Tapia, to discuss his incredible life journey, his mathematics contributions, and his amazing work in influencing and inspiring underrepresented minority and female students in science and math.

“When I argue with the math department I don’t say that bringing in blacks, browns, and women are going to improve the quality of mathematics. Mathematics is in good shape and it is going to keep going. On the other hand, not having a STEM workforce in Silicon Valley that has the flavor of black and brown, now that does hurt the nation. With 18% brown and 13% black, that’s a large group of people and if they are not in the backbone of this country, which is science and technology, then the country will be weakened”.
