. For example, some male studentsmentioned that maybe there are not as many women in engineering because it does not interestwomen, or that we should not push diversity into STEM fields so much because diversity does notimprove the performance of a group.In a study published by the American Sociological Review, Herring suggests that diversity canhave a positive impact on business performance. Diverse groups can leverage their experiencesand perspectives to solve problems and make decisions in a way that like-minded groups cannot.While some men in our study see this as diversity quotas where women are hired solely based ontheir gender, there is growing research that shows diversity adds value to teams and organizations.Herring’s findings show

Even our own identity in the world can be thoughtof as a narrative in our minds, and to imagine our future selves we must construct a futurenarrative. It is this power of story that we believe needs to be fundamentally embraced bydiversity efforts in engineering and computing to make a significant change in our demographicchallenges. And yet, the power of story is left, mostly, unexplored in engineering as it does not fitwith our STEM-focused fields that sit strongly in the camps of quantitative evidence, testing, anddesign.We will argue in this paper, that there is convincing evidence that leveraging the power of storymight be the “holy grail” for changing
