For example, we assigned a reading on groupconversational characteristics, which led to a number of interesting reflections from somestudents about how much they enjoy “ritual opposition” (a method of testing ideas by tearingthem down, which Tannen [16] claims is common amongst men) and from other students abouthow those same interactions make them feel unsafe and silenced.

reflection on howour grading practices impact equity mirrors conversations around using standardized testingmechanisms like the SAT, ACT, and GRE for admissions decisions. These high-stakes examsmay hugely impact accessibility of higher education for certain demographics of students[18]–[20]. Mounting criticism of standardized tests have pointed out that performance appearstied to lack of preparation and under-resourced schools, rather than students’ ability to succeed inundergraduate or graduate degree programs [21]–[24]. As underrepresented students are stronglyaffected by using test score thresholds to admit candidates, several movements have proposedthat their use be discontinued.While grades are a deeply ingrained part of higher educational

without implicitly placing theonus for change on students” [8, p. 576]. A focus on student success within institutions thatweren’t built with them in mind is important for reframing the narrative regarding “achievementgaps,” but this theory can also be helpful for illuminating misalignment between assets possessedby students from groups systemically marginalized in STEM fields and the capital valued byacademic institutions. In doing so, we can identify levers for institutional transformation thatcould help elevate the value of community cultural wealth beyond counterspaces/ethnic enclaveswithin the university setting.By identifying areas of misalignment between student assets and institutional values reflected inpolicies, we can illustrate the

The number ofparticipants recruited for the current study was appropriate for a qualitative study [18], but therewere much fewer women than men and much fewer students attending the HBCU than the PWI.These numbers reflect the larger population of males and students attending the PWI; however,the lack of female students and students attending the HBCU may suggest differences in theirexperiences that are an artifact of this study rather than a reflection of Latinx students’ livedexperiences.

When I first attended the university to learnengineering, I was full of the messages of the 1970’s: Women can do anything men can do(better), I can have it all, the doors to access professional success are wide open. However, littledid I know that while this may be true, the cost to anyone not a tall white male from a privilegedbackground was great. It took me years to interpret what I experienced through the lens of thewhite patriarchy, but for the last 20 years, I have studied and reflected on how we in Engineeringand Education have participated in the inequities we see all around us

ofengineering, and a time for students to reflect upon and decide the majors and specialties theywill pursue thereon (Ngambeki, 2009). It is also a time when students’ beliefs of engineering andits education are reinforced (Hutchison et al., 2006). The content and experiences offered aspart of these courses present an opportunity to support students in developing their beliefs andattitudes towards engineering. We teach students that engineers design, apply math andscience to solve problems, program, make decisions, have different areas of specialty, but oftenmiss or convey only implicitly that engineering at its core is a human endeavor, one that ispracticed for people, with people, and as people (Fila et al., 2014).

This is not to say that the women on the siteidentity personally with postfeminism as a philosophy or are even aware of it. The advice theyprovide, however, aligns with dominant postfeminist narratives and cultural ideas about howwomen can achieve success in the contemporary workplace. They emphasize the need forwomen to overcome any other issues or obstacles they may encounter as individuals (whether ornot they perceive of them as being related to gender). Women on the site promote the idea of a‘can-do’ woman who takes control of the situation and is confident.Minimizing and ReframingOne common piece of advice to women often with respect to gendered barriers was to

Further, the proposedcommunication and knowledge-making suggested by the reviewer reflects Western ways ofknowing, making knowledge, and communicating [21]; as such, this aligns with culturalimperialism and, following Dotson, is a form of epistemic violence [22

The mostpromising approach is student-led, where senior students worked to change the student culturedirectly.Introduction and BackgroundImproving diversity in STEM fields is an important goal and has been widely studied. It is well-known that students and professionals in STEM careers in the USA do not reflect the generalpopulation of the country [1]. For example, white men make up 31.6% of the general populationwhile they make up 51% of scientists and engineers. Black men make up 6% of the populationand 3% of the STEM workforce. The percentage of non-white and non-Asian people in the USAis 31.3% while the percentage of this sub-population working in STEM is just 12%. In

Students also reflected on their observations on thecontrast between exclusion and inclusion. This resulted in the identification of: the location ofrepresentation gap that became influential; socially-mediated mechanisms that actually lead
