• Resumen

  • This paper aims to critically frame the successes and failings of scientific conferences designed for underrepresented undergraduate physics students as counterspaces in physics. The beginning of the paper outlines the necessity of these counterspaces’ existence as evidenced by the literature. We apply a critical lens to the experiences of minority students who have attended these conferences to examine the ways the events support their holistic identities or fail to do so.
