Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2020 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Research frequently neglects the important ways that race and gender intersect within the complex structural dynamics of STEM. Diversifying STEM fills this void, bringing together a wide array of perspectives and the voices of a number of multidisciplinary scholars. The essays cover three main areas: the widely-held ideology that science and mathematics are “value-free,” which promotes pedagogies of colorblindness in the classroom as well as an avoidance of discussions around using mathematics and science to promote social justice; how male and female students of color experience the intersection of racist and sexist structures that lead to general underrepresentation and marginalization; and recognizing that although there are no quick fixes, there exists evidence-based research suggesting concrete ways of doing a better job of including individuals of color in STEM. As a whole this volume will allow practitioners, teachers, students, faculty, and professionals to reimagine STEM across a variety of educational paradigms, perspectives, and disciplines, which is critical in finding solutions that broaden the participation of historically underrepresented groups within the STEM disciplines.

Download or read book STEM of Desire written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STEM of Desire: Queer Theories and Science Education locates, creates, and investigates intersections of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and queer theorizing. Manifold desires—personal, political, cultural—produce and animate STEM education. Queer theories instigate and explore (im)possibilities for knowing and being through desires normal and strange. The provocative original manuscripts in this collection draw on queer theories and allied perspectives to trace entanglements of STEM education, sex, sexuality, gender, and desire and to advance constructive critique, creative world-making, and (com)passionate advocacy. Not just another call for inclusion, this volume turns to what and how STEM education and diverse, desiring subjects might be(come) in relation to each other and the world. STEM of Desire is the first book-length project on queering STEM education. Eighteen chapters and two poems by 27 contributors consider STEM education in schools and universities, museums and other informal learning environments, and everyday life. Subject areas include physical and life sciences, engineering, mathematics, nursing and medicine, environmental education, early childhood education, teacher education, and education standards. These queering orientations to theory, research, and practice will interest STEM teacher educators, teachers and professors, undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, policy makers, and academic libraries.

Download or read book Queering STEM Culture in US Higher Education written by Kelly J. Cross and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopting an intersectional lens, this timely volume explores the lived experiences of members of the queer and trans community in post-secondary STEM culture in the US to provide critical insights into progressing socially just STEM education pathways. Offering contributions from students, faculty, practitioners, and administrators, the volume highlights prevailing issues of heteronormativity and marginalization across a range of STEM disciplines. Autoethnographic accounts place minority experiences within the broader context of social and cultural phenomena to reveal subtle and overt forms of exclusion, and systematic barriers to participation in STEM professions, academia, and research. Finally, the book offers key recommendations to inform future research and practice. This volume will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in higher education, engineering education, and the sociology of education more broadly. Those involved with diversity, equity, and inclusion within education, queer theory, and gender and sexuality studies will also benefit from this volume.

Download or read book Perceived Identity Incongruence written by Lindsay Palmer and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people report experiencing prejudice, feelings of invisibility, and feeling unwelcome in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) environments because of their sexual and/or romantic orientations (Bilimoria & Stewart, 2009; Cech & Waidzunas, 2011; D'Augelli, 1989). Despite these reports, little research has targeted the impact of heterosexual peoples perceptions of queer scientists and the downstream consequences for the experiences of LGBTQ people in STEM. Research on gender and racial diversity in STEM has found that perceptions of prototypical scientista white man ((Banaji & Greenwald, 2013; Barbercheck, 2001; Kahn & Ginther, 2017; Mead & Metraux, 1958; Nosek & Smyth, 2011)influence dominant group members attitudes toward underrepresented groups in STEM (Carli, Alawa, Lee, Zhao, & Kim, 2016) such that some groups are perceived to be less of a fit with STEM. Beliefs about fit with STEM and, in particular, LGBTQ peoples fit with STEM, may emerge from stereotypes, sexual prejudice, and technical versus social dualism (i.e., the ideological separation between technical skills and issues and social/personal skills and issues; Faulkner, 2000, 2009; Cech & Waidzunas, 2011). Given beliefs about the prototypical scientist, the historically prejudicial climate of STEM fields for women and racial minorities, and theories of technical/social dualism, it is reasonable to expect that heterosexual people may perceive LGBTQ peoples identities to be incongruent with scientist identities. In two experimental studies with heterosexual participants (N1 = 234; N2 = 344), we randomly assigned participants to evaluate a lesbian woman, heterosexual woman, gay man, or heterosexual man who was being considered for a STEM or nonSTEM internship. We predicted the following: (1) men would be perceived as having greater academic fit, better performance expectations, and greater closeness to their respective disciplines than women; (2) heterosexual internship candidates would be perceived as having greater academic fit, better performance expectations, and greater closeness to their fields in their respective disciplines than queer internship candidates and; (3) we predicted a two-way interaction between field and sexual orientation, such that queer internship candidates would be perceived as having greater academic fit, better performance expectations, and greater closeness to their discipline in nonSTEM fields than in STEM fields. In Study 1, we found a three-way interaction between field, gender, and sexual orientation in perceptions of perceived closeness between the internship candidate and their field. We found no evidence to support our hypotheses in Study 2, but we build from this research to discuss limitations and future directions for empirically examining LGBTQ well-being in STEM.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a unique analysis of the intersection between gender, sexuality, race, and social media. While early scholarship identified the internet as being inherently egalitarian, this volume presents the internet as a “real” social place where inequalities matter and manifest in particular ways according to the architectures of particular platforms. This volume utilizes innovative methodologies to analyze how internet users both re-inscribe and resist inequalities of gender, sexuality, and race. It describes how the internet has ameliorated and bridged geographic and numerical limits on community formation, and this volume examines how the functioning of social inequalities differs on- and offline.

Book excerpt: Gender and Education discusses the impact of education on women and people of color at the intersection of gender, race, class, culture, and political and generational variables. The book explores how the languages of gender and equity can be understood beyond the assignment of categories or academic success. Students learn about the passage of Title IX and its subsequent backlash, social control within schools, the relationship between bulling and discrimination in schools, students' free speech rights, and women's underrepresentation in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. They examine topics such as affirmative action in higher education, online education, and whether today's charter schools truly represent educational reform. The second edition features new readings on the topics of queer pedagogy, reproduction theory and the gender status quo, bullying and discrimination in early childhood, race and gender disparity in urban education, interdisciplinary women's and gender students, the impact of sexual orientation and gender expression bias on African-American students, academic capitalism, and the role of social media in higher education. Gender and Education is an ideal resources for courses in education, gender studies, and race and diversity in the classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men continue to outnumber women in numerous technical STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields such as, engineering and computer science. Prior work demonstrates the importance of introducing girls to STEM content early on, before gender stereotypes are ingrained. However, many parents and teachers are not sure how to do this in a developmentally appropriate and playful way. Breaking the STEM Stereotype: Reaching Girls in Childhood by Dr. Amanda Sullivan, Ph.D. explores the various social, cultural, and psychological reasons behind the persistent gender disparity between men and women in STEM fields. By explaining the powerful role of stereotypes, the media, and experiences with peers and adults during the foundational early childhood years, this book builds the case of early childhood being a critical time in development to reach girls. Breaking the STEM Stereotype is set up in three parts. Part 1 provides the current state of the gender divide in each aspect of STEM and explores why early childhood is a critical time to address this divide. Part 2 explores gender identity development and gender stereotypes as well as the influences of the media, advertising, and adult and peer role models on young children. Finally, Part 3 arms readers with the knowledge they need to dispel gender stereotypes in STEM. It provides suggestions on tools, technologies, and kits that can be used with young girls beginning in pre-kindergarten. It provides materials needed to design effective curricula and activities to engage girls with STEM in playful ways that build on their personal interests.

This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer science faces a continuing crisis in the lack of females pursuing and succeeding in the field. Companies may suffer due to reduced product quality, students suffer because educators have failed to adjust to diverse populations, and future generations suffer due to a lack of role models and continued challenges in the environment. In this book, we draw on the latest research in sociology, psychology, and education to first identify why we should be striving for gender diversity (beyond social justice), refuting misconceptions about the differing potentials between females and males. We then provide a set of practical types (with brief motivations) for improving your work with undergraduates taking your courses. This is followed by in-depth discussion of the research behind the tips, presenting obstacles that females face in a number of areas. Finally, we provide tips for advising undergraduate independent projects or graduate students, supporting female faculty, and initiatives requiring action at the institutional level (department or above).
