Rebecca K. Andersen – Impacting Education: Journal on Transforming Professional Practice, 2024
It is widely known that women are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We have a lack of women who choose STEM careers and women leave these careers at a higher rate than men. Women of color are especially underrepresented and face additional hurtles in building their STEM career. While interventions often…

Luis A. Leyva – Theory Into Practice, 2025
STEM is an exclusionary space for queer and trans* students of color (QTSOCs). A critical site of justice-oriented transformation to enhance support for QTSOCs is mathematics education, which has significant impacts on access to STEM majors and positive identities in the sciences. This article proposes a set of rights for QTSOCs as STEM learners…

Engaging Children from Under-Represented Groups with STEM Using "Minecraft" to Link with the UN SDGs
Hobbs, Laura; Behenna, Sarah – Primary Science, 2023
This article discusses how the authors' 'Science Hunters' suite of projects uses the computer game Minecraft to engage children, particularly those from underrepresented groups, with STEM. Delivered by environmental scientists, Science Hunters projects link to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through offering inclusive…

The overall goal of our work is to disrupt pervasive narratives and misplaced assessments of what defines scientific brilliance, specifically in the introductory chemistry classroom. The traditional design of science, technology, education, and math (STEM) courses perpetuates the narrow view that intelligence is characterized by innate talent,…

De La Torre, Corina; Dobis, Corrie – Journal of Interdisciplinary Teacher Leadership, 2022
This paper seeks to explore how rural Latinx students' STEM identity development can be fostered by utilizing their cultural capital. By both a community cultural wealth and science identity model, this paper reviews previous literature to conceptualize how and why rural Latinx youth are continuously underrepresented within STEM education and…

Johnson, Angela; Young, Rose; Mulvey, Elizabeth – Physics Teacher, 2020
Between 2006 and 2016, women made up 19% of the U.S. citizens and permanent residents who received bachelor's degrees in physics. Women of Color (which includes women who indicated Black, Latina, American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian American, Pacific Islander, Native Hawaiian, or mixed as their ethnicity or race) received 4% of all physics…

Mack, Kelly – Liberal Education, 2021
Far too often, Black women like the author, and so many others from groups that have been historically marginalized in STEM, are made to "assume some kind of position" as they navigate the hostility of a disciplinary culture that was never intended for them but has, nevertheless, benefited from them. On varying levels, that…

Glanfield, Florence; Thom, Jennifer S.; Ghostkeeper, Elmer – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2020
Current conceptions of STEM focus on the Western views of distinct academic disciplines--sciences, technologies, engineering, and mathematics. There are national and international initiatives aimed at increasing workforce and postsecondary participation in STEM-related fields, including individuals in under-represented groups. While the emphases…

McWhirter, Ellen Hawley; Cinamon, Rachel Gali – Journal of Career Development, 2021
Women and members of many ethnic minority groups continue to be significantly underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and work settings. In this article, we propose that Gloria Anzaldúa's concepts of "nepantla" and "nepantleras/os" can be used to enrich perspectives on…
