Inclusive STEM Studies Research Talk: STEM Students and Gender Studies: Building a New Path to Inclusivity

The persistent underrepresentation of women, people of color, and other groups has long plagued STEM fields. In this talk, Professors Jenn Rossmann (ME) and Mary Armstrong (WGSS) discuss their award-winning research on how critical skills learned in WGSS (Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies) courses might help foster a “sense of belonging” among unrepresented STEM students. Can WGSS courses really empower underrepresented STEM students to better navigate the normatively white/masculine cultures of STEM? And what does that mean for STEM education and diversity?
