Marco-Bujosa, Lisa M.; Joy, Lois; Sorrentino, Rachel – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Community colleges are a vital source of students in the STEM career pipeline. Yet, research indicates that rather than diversifying the STEM workforce, community colleges may be perpetuating gender imbalances. This qualitative phenomenological study was designed to examine differences in male and female experiences in two male-dominated community…
