The environmental workforce remains largely White, despite calls to diversify. There exists a narrative that environmental education programs can enact change by cultivating Connection to Nature (CTN) among individuals who identify as Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC). We contend that more work is needed to understand the full range of…

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…

Fan, Yiyun; Barany, Amanda; Foster, Aroutis – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: STEM minority participation programs have been widely implemented in higher education with the goal of diversifying the global STEM workforce. Informed by research highlighting the potential of targeted exploration of STEM roles and refection on the self in relation to STEM (identity exploration), this work examines how engagement in a…

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are key drivers of a fast-changing world and provide skills to solve challenges in such an environment. Adolescence, especially the high school-to-college transition, is characterized by large divergences in youth's STEM pathways, but the reasons for this divergence remain unclear…

Sara T. R. Velasquez; Roslyn Nimmo; Teena Pookayil; Christopher Lydon; Debra Willison; Fraser J. Scott – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Women, ethnic minority, and less affluent groups are widely underrepresented in chemistry, a problem that is observed at all levels but begins before college matriculation takes place. The importance of representation and humanization of scientists is crucial. Despite limited progress over recent decades, poor visibility of role models from…

Persistent underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic Statistics degree holders relative to the U.S. population occurs at all levels in post-secondary education, contributing to the underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic Bio/Statisticians. Attempting to address this inequity before the undergraduate level, Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK)'s Bridge…

Michelle S. Johnson; Kathy C. Haynie; Lalita A. Shevde; J. Michael Wyss – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2025
A lack of academic and social readiness limits the successful transition to high school and college for many students from populations historically underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and historically underrepresented groups in biomedical careers (HUG). Also, many families from underrepresented groups share little…

Marne Bailey; Jeannette Pifer; Martha Wilkins; Phyllis Balcerzak – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2025
United States policy aims to bolster a declining interest in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), professions. This disinterest is especially notable in women, Latinx, Black and Indigenous people who make up first-generation Americans attending college. Removing barriers for those under-represented in the STEM professions…

Danielle C. Hollaway-Hoyte – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Historically, STEM-related courses, specifically mathematics, have been looked at as a heavily White male and Asian-denominated space. The academic achievement gap seen with Black and Brown minorities within all content areas of public education is drastically large in the area of mathematics. Though the gap has shrunk, the number of minority…

Research has shown that university students approach STEM fields with preconceived notions that has the ability to influence their future STEM trajectories. Several scholarly investigations have explored pedagogical methodologies that not only recognize but actively validate the varied proficiencies that these pupils possess. This nested mixed…
