- Abstract
- This research investigates the intersectionality of gender and race in STEM careers among women of color in higher education. The goal is to clarify these women’s unique experiences and challenges while developing strategies to advance diversity and inclusion within STEM fields. Reflecting on the journey as a Black woman, daughter of migrant workers, wife, mother, grandmother, and scholar, a profound understanding of how racial and gender biases manifest in various facets of life has been gained. It has been observed that women of color often encounter significant exclusion from essential networks and are subjected to policies that undermine their contributions and expertise in the STEM disciplines. This realization has inspired the research, aiming to uncover and confront these barriers, paving the way for more equitable opportunities for women of color in STEM careers. This research examines how the interplay of gender and race affects the professional journeys of women of color in STEM, particularly in collegiate settings. The goal is to raise awareness about these individuals’ obstacles and biases while exploring ways to amplify their voices and contributions. Through qualitative methods, the research aims to uncover specific challenges and identify effective strategies for fostering inclusivity and equity in STEM environments. Ultimately, this work aspires to contribute to creating supportive educational spaces that empower women of color to thrive in STEM disciplines, ensuring their diverse perspectives are valued and included in shaping the future of these fields.
