, 2010 Modeling the career pathways of women STEM faculty through oral histories and participatory research methodsAbstractWomen increasingly earn advanced degrees in science, technology, and mathematics (STEM),yet remain underrepresented among STEM faculty. Much of the existing research on thisunderrepresentation relies on “chilly climate” and “pipeline” theoretical models to explain thisphenomenon. However, the extent to which these models follow women’s actual careerpathways has been undertheorized. Further, alternative metaphors may more aptly describe thecareer pathways of women STEM faculty. In our broader research project, we examine the wayswomen’s career pathways
