Description & Coverage
Description:

Despite a higher percentage of women entering various STEM fields, issues of discrimination and stereotyping continue to exist. These difficulties create a potential hostile environment and a noticeable gap in opportunities, advancements, and compensation increases in comparison to their male counterparts.

Critical Research on Sexism and Racism in STEM Fields investigates the bias, stereotyping, and repression experienced by women within STEM-based career fields. Emphasizing the struggle felt by women within politics, education systems, business environments, STEM careers, as well as issues with advocacy and leadership, this publication benefits professionals, social activists, researchers, academics, managers, and practitioners interested in the institutionalized discrimination and prejudice women encounter in various fields.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Economics and STEM
  • Gender Bias
  • Male Domination
  • Professional Organizations
  • Representation Issues
  • Role Modeling
  • STEM Environments
  • Stereotyping
Reviews & Statements

Many studies indicate that gender-based and racial-based discrimination are persistent problems in both educational and professional STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) settings. This comprehensive work addresses issues which negatively impact recruitment and retention of women in STEM field.

– ProtoView Reviews

Critical Research on Sexism and Racism in STEM Fields underscores the importance of context, policies, and the usefulness of mixed methodologies to understand the underrepresentation of people of color and women of color in STEM fields. This book is useful in addressing our next steps in addressing the STEM gap, noting the national and international work that must be done.
