Processes of globalization are rapidly changing the social context of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, with unclear consequences for minority students. On the one hand, arguments have been made to suggest that the global sphere has the potential to empower minority students and improve the outcomes of education. Yet, in some circumstances, it is clear that the globalization of education has a detrimental effect on minority students in particular. In response to this theoretical debate, my research seeks to establish the conditions under which the globalization of STEM education can benefit minority groups, focusing on Israel as a case study.
