Although the effects of COVID-19 were felt by all students, the pandemic exacerbated the barriers to belonging for women in engineering. Little work to date has investigated women's experiences during the pandemic in disciplines that are hallmarked by masculinity. What scholarship has been completed on pandemic-necessitated virtual instruction has…

In this paper, I discuss the gendered-racialised interactional and contextual dynamics hindering the socialisation of ethnic minoritised women (EMW) within Belgian higher education. Based on in-depth interviews, I develop the concept of 'socialisation climates' to explain the key aspects that determine EMW's socialisation process. Three…

Almost a quarter-century has passed in the new millennium; howoever, the phrase 'Nihil Novum Sub Sole' is still valid for females struggling to move forward amid a male-dominant world. Structural, cultural, and organisational barriers continue to prevent women from achieving academic leadership positions within educational contexts, the so-called…

While much has been written about inclusive education systems, researchers have mainly focused upon policies and practices to encourage access and participation for children with disabilities or special educational needs. Yet it is evident that the population of individuals and in some cases whole communities who have been denied access to…

Various gender biases have been demonstrated in early childhood educators (ECEs) with unintentional preferential treatment provided to boys during STEM-related play activities. These biases could impact young girls' identity formation, resulting in continued underrepresentation of women in STEM domains in future. In China, however, little research…

This study utilized a qualitative approach to learn about a co-educational housing pilot program in a rural serving, four-year regional university in the mid-south United States. Four individuals involved in the program took part in semi-structured interviews. Open coding analysis revealed four themes: sense of belonging, learning, gender and…

This essential manual helps educators comfortably and knowledgeably deliver lessons in comprehensive sex education to young people with developmental disabilities in the context of special education. Drawing on firsthand experience and real-world examples, the first half provides background material and tools for how to effectively partner with…

This study examines whether the National Science Foundation's ADVANCE-IT grant program identifies and funds institutions that improve faculty gender equity. By using matching procedures and a two-way fixed-effect event study, we find that when universities received ADVANCE-IT grants, their proportion and headcount of women faculty as full-time…

Comprehensive Sexuality Education has been acknowledged globally for its role in advancing young people's Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. Yet, notable variation exists in definitions and interpretations of what comprehensive means, exposing tensions between international and local values and agendas. This research focused on the…

The selection of repertoire is a critical component of ensemble music, especially in educational contexts. Accredited music education systems often rely on required, recommended, or prescribed music lists to assist in these selections. Nonetheless, previous content analyses have primarily focused on questions of creative quality, artistic merit,…

Drawing on a narrative inquiry with students in an English course entitled Girlhood, this paper explores the ways in which the experiences of teaching the course, and inquiring into two girls' experiences of the course, shaped the future practice of the teacher/author. Drawing on Hannah Arendt's writings on natality, we inquire into how the…

Over the past decade, there has been an increased emphasis on tailoring men's health promotion programs. To optimize outcomes, participatory action research that involves and elicits feedback from end-users has been highlighted as important to creating gender-responsive interventions. In this scoping review, we examine (a) how participatory action…

Access to higher education continues to increase in the Caribbean, and with this comes disparities among those who participate. For instance, Jamaica, a traditionally patriarchal society, has seen a greater increase among women participating in higher education when compared to men. This paper presents findings that highlight how non-traditional…

A gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields persists despite the growing acknowledgment of the inequities women face. One pathway into STEM careers is attending academic conferences, where doctoral students can engage with the wider community in their field. This study shares the experiences of women doctoral…
